I was too lazy to post this but then I recalled that we do not speak against bad and things keep on going like that. So here I am trying to stand against the discrimination. I hope Pakwheelers will support me.
Couple of weeks ago I was on weekend in Peshawar and went to Peshawar Saddar. Parked my car in the paid parking but before I was able to reach the parking spot there was huge traffic jam near that white small mosque aka takhtu jumaat.
Anyhow after I parked the car I decided to dig the issue as what was obstructing the traffic bcoz there was not that much traffic at that time.
I discovered this white corolla X parked in the middle of the road. It was with green Mardan no. plate. I got suspicious as mostly only PA or APA uses JDMs with green plates of FR 1 or Kyber 1 etc, and rest most of the Govt vehicles are PKDMs. I checked the car but found no one around.
Before narrating further story let me show you the car first.
First I decided to walk away and carry on my own business but then I amended my thought and walked to the Traffic Sergent on duty near the mosque chowk. He was joined by his senior and I asked them if Rule of law is same for all or not? and their reply was positive. I pointed towards the car and the piled up cars behind it in the traffic jam and they said it got green plates but I reminded them that moments later they assured me that rule of law is same for all. Further I told them about the JDM PKDM thingy and asked em to check the car if it is for real green.
Meanwhile DSP traffic also came there. The driver of the subject car was discovered and he was in Excise uniform and he told us that the car is in use of family of Provincial minister for Excise KPK ( I don't know his name). He asked me if I was from PTI but my reply was that I am aam shehri.
Now scene was like that Police was there, lifter was 200 m away , driver was there and minister sb family was inside a shop enjoying shopping. The dsp raised his shoulders like a helpless person and said that he will loose his job if he will attempt to remove the car. The driver was confident and told the police that he will call minister sb if they will ask him to remove the car or if they will dare to lift it with a lifter.
Further he said that car is an NCP and Excise can apply such green plates on any ncp or stolen car.
I had a poker face expression but then I took out my cell phone and took these snaps. Walked away , did the chores I was there for and after about one hour when I was going back to the parking I saw the family of minister sb sitting in the car.
I had a cold sigh and moved on.
Thoughts?
Regards,
PS if anyone know the name of Minister for Excise in KP , kindly share it.
