Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is playing vital role in the fight against poverty and terrorism. Poverty and terrorism are interlinked with each other. Thus, the steps of BISP with regard to poverty eradication are also helping in fight against terrorism.

Racheed Bin Masud appreciated the role of BISP in poverty alleviation and said that BISP and the World Bank are working as partner to achieve the desired objectives.
