Sharmila Farooqi recalls the incredible event of her life

by
Sharmila Farooqi
  • Sharmila Farooqi is the leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party.
  • She is Usman Farooqi’s daughter, a former bureaucrat.
  • Sharmila expressed her emotions about the worst incident of her life.

Sharmila Farooqi is the leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party and a former Sindh Assembly member. She is Usman Farooqi’s daughter, a former bureaucrat and chairman of the Pakistan Steel Mill, and the maternal granddaughter of N M Uqaili, a former finance minister of Pakistan.

Sharmila expressed her emotions about the worst incident that happened back in early 2000 when she was 16 years old. She turned to Twitter to elaborate on the whole story:

The saddest event in Sharmila Farooqui’s life is still alive in her mind. Following that occurrence, Sharmila developed the strength and confidence to take on the world. Sharmila shared a photo of herself when she was a 16-year-old adolescent. Even at such a young age, Sharmila showed great bravery. Now that Sharmila is a successful politician and celebrity, she serves as an example for all of us. She now has a son and is blissfully wed to Hasham. We should respect Sharmila’s spirit because she has done so much for her country.
