Who is pir pagara

The British used coercive methods on the Pir and his followers. He was deported to Bombay and then transferred to Calcutta where he breathed his last. On the part of Liaquat Ali Khan who was then also President of the Pakistan Muslim League, it may be considered as an effort to muster feudal support in areas where it cannot command a democratic following.

Pir Pagara is a powerful spiritual leader with a million tribal members known as Hurs. The Hurs consider the Pir Pagara as literally their god on earth. They always enthusiastically welcome him and shower him with rupees and gifts nazranas whenever he makes an appearance, no matter how brief it may be. At present we are suffering because of PPP which had made electricity costly. Thus militarily the Hurs are a great source of strength.

On the part of Liaquat Ali Khan who was then also President of the Pakistan Muslim League, it may be considered as an effort to muster feudal support in areas where it cannot command a democratic following. Pir Pagara is a powerful spiritual leader with a million tribal members known as Hurs free and brave men. The Hurs consider the Pir Pagara as literally their god on earth. They always enthusiastically welcome him and shower him with rupees and gifts nazranas whenever he makes an appearance, no matter how brief it may be.

At present we are suffering because of PPP which had made electricity costly. Thus militarily the Hurs are a great source of strength. That is why the Pakistan Army was not deployed on the Thar border and the vast expanse of Sindh desert was open to the enemy. India could have chosen the area of its operations and done irrevocable damage to the country but the militia of Hurs proved to be easily available substitute for the Army.

Hurs and their camels did a terrific job as and when they were required to defend their borders. No doubt, it conveniently caused to help him forge strong ties with the military. He is more interested in the good things in life.

On the other hand, the new pir of opportunistic politics, Asif Ali Zardari, has managed to further strengthen his position in rural Sindh. As a matter of fact, for the first time, PPP has tried to make inroads in Karachi and Hyderabad in such constituencies that were considered Muttahida Qaumi Movement strongholds.
