ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf on Friday directed Chairperson Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) and Federal Minister Farzana Raja to focus on the less-developed areas of Balochistan and Federally Administered Tribal Areas to provide financial assistance to the poorest sections of society.
