BISP
The Quest of Political Mileage

Ehsaas Programme
Creation of a Welfare State

PM Launched Ehsaas programme April 2019, envisaging four focus areas and 115 policy actions.
PPP leadership has been taking credit of Launch of BISP after they formed Govt 2008 as if it was their brainchild & a Programme adopted by choice,supported by likeminded “neutral” analysts.
Guess What,It was NOT a choice made on purpose but was one of conditions proposed by IMF to ease microeconomic adjustments after PPP Govt had sought bailout Package. https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2015/09/28/04/54/vc120308#q3
Screenshots attached clearly indicating it was a condition by IMF,contrary to the claims made by PPP Leadership till date,needless to say This Program,if applied apolitically,would’ve worked but the third screenshot by a foreign newspaper perhaps explains why it didn’t.👇
PPP takes the ownership of BISP based on another fact that it was an act of Parliament by appointing PPP MNA Farzana Raja it’s Chairperson,signalling Political Manoeuvring at targeted vote bank only,just like they appointed Their Ex MPA Deedar Hussain Shah,Chairman NAB. 👇
Appointments by PPP Govt on Key Positions later on proved their motive was not to serve but to use as a tool used to manipulate political horizon even at the cost of Jeopardising social uplifting Program called BISP.
Underneath is just a mere display of how “effectively” BISP was used to enhance vote bank instead of focusing delivering program to the core. It was openly used as a tool to enhance vote bank GE 2013,to which Then Chief Election Commissioner objected & ordered inquiry.👇👇👇
Pmln after assuming office,winning GE 2013, initially called BISP a failed Program but later on ended up appointing Marvi Memon,another Political worker with no vision on a social welfare program however a political enthusiast Just Like Farzana Raja,Senator Enver Baig.
Marvi Memon,as a Chairperson BISP had no qualm showing her Political Affiliations with Pmln while running a social uplifting program meant to target everyone below poverty line regardless of their political attachment, A clear case of conflict of Interest displayed openly.
@AseefaBZ called Marvi’s bluff while the latter reacted but in reality In 2015 125,714 ghost BISP beneficiaries with majority in Sindh were detected.
Over the years till 2015, Rs 3.3 billion was given to these ghost beneficiaries,a clear indication of political engineering.
Pmln,following the footsteps of Previous Govt & their partner in crime Politicising Ehsaas Program based on Propaganda,had openly used BISP in GB elections so much so even Ahsan Iqbal raised a brow at one point given its scope & scalability ,to which only Pti reacted.
Marvi Memon,despite promising transparency of the program while indicting previous practices taking jibes at PPP,let alone making it a success,reason because the Program was once again used for Political Engineering,addressing Vote Bank only.
It’s only after falling out with Pmln,their Nominated Chairperson BISP jeers at Pmln leadership,promising to write a book on program & scope without political intervention as well as accusing Pmln of non-democratic practices.
Despite all this info available on internet with digital footprint,it’s amazing to watch the audacity of claiming ownership of a Program conceived as a condition & used for Political manoeuvres ONLY. How some Political Analysts stand up for PPP & Pmln is an Irony.
From embezzlement to awarding BISP benefits to Govt Officials,PPP seems irked by Ehsaas Program’s scalability continue to politicise it to earn cookie points but at No Point could blame Pti for appointing Sania Nishtar as her appointment was well justified given her background.
PPP however is so concerned about welfare of unprivileged population,they couldn’t come to peace with Ehsaas Program even amid COVID19 Pandemic.
Without stating the obvious salient features of Ehsaas Program,let this be on record,Pti led Govt after merging BISP into Ehsaas with broader spectrum,showed no political tilt & continued it based on First survey, conducted in 2010-12(National Poverty Index)
For Opposition Politicising PM’s approach on poverty alleviation,Here’s a link on how his approach was endorsed & projected by the foreign media,contrary to their claims for their own political survival.

Not going into the tiny details but a sketchy figure of how Pm wants Ehsaas Program to address marginalised population regardless of their political affliction with NO political influence or recruitments.
#EhsaasSabKa
One more display of explaining scope of the Program without having to address the vote bank but rather growing taller by taking steps towards the Concept of Riyast-E-Medina for the betterment of this country ,deprecated Aphorism for Opposition.
