Pir Pagara can command the support/loyalty of upto 1 million people of his Hurs tribe in Sindh, so yes could say he is like a General-like figure. :)

Yup, and they valiantly fought against the British as well.

Hurs in the 1965 War

In 1965 war of India and Pakistan, the Southern desert sector was a mere sideshow to the titanic battles fought in the Punjab and in Kashmir. However the Indians had placed two divisions in the desert with the aim of tieing down Pakistani troops. Facing a shortage of troops and unable to divert any substantial forces from the Punjab and Kashmir sectors (where the main Indian thrust has come), commander Pakistan Rangers, Brigidier Khuda Dad Khan turned to local help. Hurs voluteered in droves. Given only basic training and light weapons, the Hurs nevertheless gave a fine account of themselves in the conflict. Fighting alongside Rangers and regular army units (known collectively as the Desert Force), the Hurs used their knowledege of the desert to good effect and helped to blunt the Indian offensive. But, perhaps their most famous (and militarily important)action was the capture of the Indian fort of Kishangarh, a feature located several kilometer inside India.

so we now have mad mullahs, generals on power trips, ex-PM's landing and kicked out. President in bed with another ex-PM and all we now needed was some self acclaimed Pir.... Pakistan politics - who needs Bollywood.

Pir Pagara is basically allowed to rule as a king in his area. Bugti tried to do the same and got smoked.

Well yes, he is smarter than late Bugti so he just goes along with GHQ each time.
