Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has announced a 25% increase in payments to Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) beneficiaries.
While speaking at the inauguration event of BISP’s Dynamic Registry, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari stated that the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is a revolutionary project, and that a programme to assist small farmers will also be launched.
While speaking at an event related to the Benazir Income Support Programme, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari stated that he is proud of the BISP. “The PPP gave the country the Constitution. Benazir Bhutto made the decision to launch a programme to help the poor.”
“PPP provided relief to all segments of society. Many people opposed the BISP, especially the PPP opponents strongly opposed the programme but we took a concrete stance to give the due right to the poor at any cost.”
“We faced criticism for the programme that it will also be hit by corruption. We have made BISP the most transparent programme. The global institutions are also admitting that it is the most transparent programme and they are ready to provide assistance.”
He stated that the country is in the midst of an economic, political, and democratic crisis. He went on to say that PPP is fighting poverty, unemployment, and inflation. Because of the financial crisis, the government decided to increase BISP payments by 25%.
“There is no relief programme better than the BISPR. Under the same programme, we relieved the masses during the coronavirus pandemic and flood. We will assist the nationals in the economic crisis. People should register themselves with the BISP. We are going to launch a relief programme for the small farmers.”
Bilawal asserted that the opposition cannot win elections against the PPP. He invited nationals to support the PPP, which he described as the country’s only hope for resolving all crises.
