The Benazir Income Support Programme organized a Quran recitation event in Islamabad today to pay tribute to Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto on her 17th martyrdom anniversary.

On the special instructions of Chairperson BISP Senator Rubina Khalid, Quran and Fateha recitation ceremonies were also held in all BISP offices across the country.

Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto conceived the idea of the Benazir Income Support Programme during her exile in Dubai. This visionary concept was realized in 2008 by the then-President Asif Ali Zardari.

At the conclusion of the Quran recitation, special prayers were offered for the eternal peace of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, her elevated ranks in the hereafter, the continuation of her mission to serve humanity, and the prosperity of Pakistan and progress of BISP.
