Munir Bashir modulation

I was playing along with this famous taqsim in Hijaz Kar by Munir Bashir, when I noticed this unusual modulation.
I believe this would be specific to Iraq, I notice he does a similar modulation on a Rast duet with Omar
The modualtion is from Hijaz Kar to a touch of Mukhalif.
Here is the excerpt:
Very original and interesting.
