00:00If a person is unaware of the reality of these vehicles,

00:05but if he talks about the parts of the vehicles,

00:07the engine of the vehicles,

00:08anything about the vehicles,

00:09if he talks about changing the entire vehicle,

00:11then it comes to your mind that you should go to Peshawar

00:14or you talk about Quetta,

00:16because Balochistan and Peshawar or KP

00:19these are the areas where there is a lot of accessibility.

00:23Then some videos are also coming

00:24that how the vehicles are brought from Afghanistan or somewhere else.

00:29How much understanding do we have of this issue

00:33and what is the solution in your opinion?

00:40As far as this issue is concerned,

00:43it is a fact that

00:46non-custom made vehicles

00:49in lakhs of vehicles

00:51in our Zamshoda area,

00:54earlier they were called federally administered tribal areas,

00:58and Balakand division,

01:01which is called provincially administered tribal areas,

01:05where the custom act was not applied.

01:09So here these vehicles used to be exported.

01:13And there in the showrooms,

01:15these vehicles are standing in such a way

01:17that there are not so many cake pastries in the bakery,

01:20the way these vehicles are present there with Farawali.

01:24And one fundamental reason for this is

01:27that this is a reflection of poor governance.

01:32All the institutions that implement the law are present on the roads they are coming from.

01:38And according to my information,

01:40the people who bring them, the drivers,

01:43they get about two and a half lakhs.

01:46In those two and a half lakhs,

01:47they give about one and a half lakhs to different check posts on the road.

01:51So in this way, these vehicles

01:53And nowadays,

01:55Tuva-e-Akhla is an area between South Waziristan and Jauhb.

02:00So from there,

02:02these vehicles pass through South Waziristan,

02:04then North Waziristan, Bannu,

02:06and Yarak motorway.

02:11So is there any assessment that if we talk about a month,

02:14or if we talk about a day,

02:16how many vehicles shift from there?

02:20In a day,

02:2210 vehicles can come and 100 can also come.

02:26But at this time,

02:28when you go to Malakand agency,

02:31sorry, Malakand division,

02:33Swat, Chitral, Malakand district, Dhir,

02:38there in Shoruz,

02:40you will see all these vehicles.

02:42And on the road too,

02:44you will see these non-custom made vehicles everywhere.

02:49So what is their identity?

02:51How do you see them?

02:53Don't they have a number plate?

02:55Or what is the process?

02:57And these showrooms,

02:59they are like the RAs of Pakistan.

03:01In Malakand division,

03:03it happened that

03:05the union councils

03:07started giving them numbers.

03:11UC1, UC2, UC3, like this.

03:16And

03:18the imported vehicles,

03:20the assembled vehicles are identified.

03:22The police, the customs,

03:24they identify them.

03:26Please tell us,

03:28you said that

03:30these vehicles pass through different areas very easily.

03:34We see that online too,

03:36this full-fledged business is going on.

03:38WhatsApp messages come.

03:40They have made a page on Facebook.

03:42If anyone wants a non-custom made vehicle,

03:44they will deliver it home.

03:46So is it very difficult to track them down?

03:52It is not difficult,

03:54it is just a matter of determination.

03:56And institutions

03:58should have the ability,

04:00the determination,

04:02to implement the law.

04:04But unfortunately,

04:06when we talk about good governance,

04:08the most essential thing

04:10is the order of the law.

04:12And when corruption comes,

04:14it eats away at your good governance.

04:16So basically,

04:18this is happening

04:20because of this.

04:22Who buys them?

04:24All the institutions that

04:26implement the law,

04:28they implement the law

04:30because of corruption.

04:32What is the assessment?

04:34Who is their buyer?

04:36Because a common citizen,

04:38who is a law abiding citizen,

04:40does not buy them.

04:42But who is their buyer?

04:46As far as the tribal areas are concerned,

04:48they are old.

04:50Malacca division

04:52is owned by a common citizen.

04:54There, they are considered bad.

04:56But in our

04:58urban areas,

05:00all the urban areas

05:02have been reformed.

05:04All the tribal areas

05:06have been reformed.

05:08The same law is being implemented

05:10in other parts of Pakistan.

05:12It is being implemented.

05:14But our elite

05:16in Pakistan,

05:18these types of cars,

05:20they have

05:22two or three cars

05:24on the same number.

05:26I have also heard

05:28that in some areas,

05:30as you mentioned the union councils,

05:32similarly, the urban areas,

05:34earlier,

05:36these cars were allowed

05:38to be driven.

05:40After that,

05:42it was mentioned that

05:44NCPs or non-custom paid cars

05:46are not allowed to go further

05:48or not allowed to leave the area.

05:50So, on what basis

05:52were these cars allowed?

05:54Have we accepted it?

05:56Have we tried to legalize it?

05:58What is this?

06:02As far as Malakand and

06:04other tribal areas are concerned,

06:06the custom act was not

06:08applicable at that time.

06:10But in other areas,

06:12the custom act is applicable.

06:14It is only there that

06:16we close our eyes.

06:18And

06:20in some places,

06:22the police are in clientele status.

06:24The elite is captured.

06:26So, that is why

06:28these cars are there.

06:30There is another issue, sir.

06:32I happened to go to Shershah

06:34in some cars.

06:36So, there,

06:38in the area of Karachi,

06:40where there is a big market,

06:42the entire car,

06:44the bonnet,

06:46the engine,

06:48the tires, the lights, etc.

06:50As you said,

06:52the cake pastries are kept there.

06:54The entire engine,

06:56etc.

06:58Do you think all these things

07:00will be implemented?

07:02No.

07:04The legal way

07:06is that always,

07:08under the

07:10custom act 1969,

07:12your stations

07:14are declared.

07:16And through them,

07:18you have to come in and declare

07:20in the documents.

07:22And there, your assessments will be evaluated

07:24and custom duty will be applied.

07:26But,

07:28it is not happening.

07:30And,

07:32the engine also reaches there.

07:34Then, the non-custom paid,

07:36gold also reaches there.

07:38Weapons also reach there.

07:40Now, take the areas of Kachha.

07:42Don't take any other area.

07:44In Sidh, there are areas of Kachha in Punjab.

07:46So, all kinds of weapons reach there.

07:48The way these weapons reach there,

07:50the same way these cars and engines also reach there.

07:52So, if they have to give

07:54this much permission,

07:56that there is a shine of money there,

07:58and because of that, there is corruption.

08:00Eyes also close.

08:02So, can this kind of permission be given

08:04to legalize these things

08:06so that the government of Pakistan

08:08can benefit from it?

08:10And the people who have imported cars,

08:12all kinds of cars, their parts also reach there

08:14and it is also easy for them.

08:16So, the government of Pakistan

08:18has given concessions

08:20at different times

08:22in different ways.

08:24Not only in this,

08:26but also in income tax.

08:28So, even now,

08:30under the Custom Act,

08:32a concession should be given

08:34and a special period should be given

08:36and the amount of custom duty

08:38that is required,

08:40if it is paid,

08:42then it can be legalized

08:44and then

08:46registration can also be done.
