ISLAMABAD, Nov 16 (APP): Chairperson Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), Senator Rubina Khalid has urged all citizens to strengthen the values of patience, mutual respect and social harmony for a peaceful and progressive Pakistan.
In a special message on the International Day for Tolerance, Senator Rubina Khalid said that intolerance weakens societies, while tolerance serves as the bedrock of strong, stable, and forward-looking nations.
She stressed that in an increasingly diverse world, Pakistan must foster an environment where differences are respected and unity is embraced.
Highlighting BISP’s core mission, she noted that the Programme is not limited to providing financial assistance but also plays a key role in promoting social inclusion and protecting human dignity. She said BISP extends support to vulnerable families without any discrimination of religion, ethnicity, culture, language, or social background, reflecting the principles of equality and justice.
