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.
