ISLAMABAD: The management of the Benazir Income Support Programm (BISP) has strongly rejected the story of British newspaper Daily Mail regarding Britain aid to its programmes and termed it factually incorrect and misleading.
The clarification came in response to news appearing in the media, based on the story of British newspaper Daily Mail, said a press release.
This story appeared for the first time in January 2017 in Daily Mail; British Prime Minister Theresa May subsequently defended both BISP and the cash transfers.
In response to that story in January 2017, a spokesperson for the British prime minister, in a briefing, said that BISP is a respected system for giving aid to those that need it the most.
Britain is providing a small contribution to a much bigger programme run by Pakistan’s government, where there are already proven results, he said.
There are robust systems in place to protect Britain’s aid investment so that the cash transfer goes into the hands of the most deserving.
