ISLAMABAD: Chairperson Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has said the Pakistan People’s Party is in favour of the restoration of the judiciary but the PML-N should desist from pursuing a narrow agenda.
In a statement issued here on Wednesday, Farzana Raja said the PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif was engaged in political confrontation. She said any collision with the state institutions, whether it is the judiciary or parliament, is not good for the future of democracy, adding the PPP was in favour of the restoration of the judiciary and was not backing the reinstatement of an individual.
The PML-N has chosen a narrow personal agenda instead of holding discussions on the issue of terrorism and other serious challenges confronting the country, she observed. She was of the view that Nawaz Sharif had lost his political credibility. “First, he was saying that he did not enter into any agreement with Pervez Musharraf but when he returned to the country he admitted that there was a deal.”
The PPP does not believe in the politics of agitation and is serving the people and striving to provide them with the basic amenities of life, she added. Farzana said more than one million families had been extended financial assistance at their doorstep under the BISP, while a website of the BISP had also been launched on March 3.
The government has undertaken another project to distribute Benazir Smart Cards (BSC) among the people by the end of this month.She said the families whose members died or got injured in incidents of terrorism would also be able to benefit from the BISP.
