A video is circulating in WhatsApp groups where a huge amount of USD is being exchanged for gold, and many bags are filled with USD.
Allegedly, all these transactions and exchanges are done at the Chaman border and border along with Afghanistan.
Although the Federal Board of Revenue (FRB) has clarified that the bilateral trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan was previously carried out in US Dollars, the same is being conducted in Pak Rupees.
Furthermore, FBR has taken very stringent enforcement measures at the Airports to eliminate the possibility of any such unethical practice. Pakistan Customs has made it mandatory for all passengers flying out of the country to undergo thorough personal scrutiny and 100 % currency declaration through an automated process to ward off this nefarious illegal activity. This leaves the little possibility of the subject’s undesirable practice.
These sorts of videos on different social media platforms raise many questions.
