BISP’s dark side

The ongoing Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) seems to have failed to provide proper fiĀ­nancial support to the poor. If, on one side, it is financially supportĀ­ing poor families, then on the other hand, this program is unethically humiliating, demeaning, and inĀ­sulting to the blue-collar class. BeĀ­hind this meager amount of money by the government, people are facĀ­ing unethical and illegal abasement and degradation, as this system of money distribution is totally corĀ­rupt and impure.

Especially women from the outĀ­skirts, thanks to a lack of awareĀ­ness, are being openly misled, deĀ­manded unfair charges, and asked for money to check their balance in their accounts, which is totally illeĀ­gal and unethical but still an unnoĀ­ticed act from the government.

Moreover, according to many seĀ­cret reports, it has been observed that our sisters and mothers are being compelled by the device usĀ­ers to have sexual and illicit relaĀ­tionships with them so that they can receive their amount easily. Unfortunately, it istill an unnoticed act, and the government has not taken action against these scounĀ­drels and their barbaric behavior towards have-nots.

A few days ago, in my city, BhiĀ­ria Road, Sindh, a pregnant womĀ­an was trying to receive her BISP amount, and due to the large numĀ­ber of people and their hustle for the amount, she got hurt and had a miscarriage. De facto, she is not reĀ­sponsible for her accidental aborĀ­tion; rather, the government is responsible for its unfair methodĀ­ology of providing financial supĀ­port to these people in this way. We acknowledge and respect the governmentā€™s financial efforts for the domestic prosperity of poor families, but this system of payĀ­ment distribution among poverĀ­ty-stricken people like this is thorĀ­oughly corrupt and unethical, and it should be changed.
