KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has announced a 25 percent increase in the payments to the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) beneficiaries.

while addressing the inauguration event of BISP’s Dynamic Registry, Foreign Minister said that the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is a revolutionary project and a program will also be launched for assisting small farmers.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that he is proud of the BISP. “PPP has given the Constitution to the country. Benazir Bhutto had decided to launch a programme to provide relief to the poor segment.”

“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 said that the country is going through economic, political and democratic crises. He added that PPP is fighting against poverty, unemployment and inflation. Due to the financial crisis, the government decided to make a 25 percent increase in payments to BISP beneficiaries.

“There is no relief programme better than the BISP. 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.”
