Federal Minister for Poverty Alleviation and Social Security Shazia Marri said on Friday that the beneficiaries of Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), who were disqualified during the previous government’s tenure, would be reviewed for inclusion. Shazia Marri said a mechanism for appeal would be developed for the disqualified beneficiaries so that their cases could be reviewed for inclusion in the programme. It was BISP yesterday, is BISP today and will remain BISP in the future as well. Shazia Marri said the new government had been formed through a constitutional way. Criticizing former prime minister Imran Khan, Shazia Marri said he (Imran Khan) should have highlighted the performance of his government of around four years in his public meetings instead of creating anarchy through misleading the masses.
