SOME CONTEXT: Until 2019, Pakistan prohibited the import of 1209 goods or products from India, which included "vehicles other than railway." This list of products, which can be
seen under 'Appendix G' of the 2016 Import Policy of Pakistan, was also referred to as the 'negative list' that Tata Motors mentioned earlier. Following a terror attack
on a convoy of Indian Army vehicles in Pulwama in February 2019, India imposed 200 percent customs duty on all products imported from Pakistan. Later that year in August, New Delhi revoked
the special status of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir by abrogating Article 370 of the Indian Constitution. Owing to these "tensions" over Kashmir, Pakistan decided to
suspend all bilateral trade between the nations, formally ceasing all imports and exports. However, limited trade of essential goods, such as pharmaceutical products and raw materials, has
continued unofficially, reported _Pakistan Today._ CONCLUSION: The viral message is a hoax, as automobiles from India are banned from import in Pakistan. _(Not convinced of a post or
