Pakistan is blessed with abundant Manpower of military age. Our front line forces comprise of approximately 654,000 active personnel in the armed forces( excluding 25,000–35,000+ personnel in the Strategic Plans Division Forces) ,482,000 active personnel in the paramilitary forces and not forgetting the army reserves of 550,000. Apart from that we have trained men of numerous militias held by Baluch tribal chiefs, religious outfit razakaars, tribal peace lashkars ,defunct mujahideen orgs,Hur mujahideen and other trained men of political/non political organisations.
Militias(razakaars) have played an important role supporting Pakistan Army since the first war of Kashmir in 1948 when Pakistan, with the support of tribal(Waziris) militias, was able to gain control of the region of AJK. Pakistan Army also found the militias volunteering to participate in the wars of 1965 and 1971 quite useful as well.
One of my favourite has been the Hur Mujahid force ,even today just by the wink of an eye of Pir Pagaro ,thousands of Hurs will assemble at the border within minutes.
In February this year Jamat e Islami started registration for Volunteers(razakaars) in Karachi.
Hafiz Saeed and its organisation has thousands of trained men.
There are reports of thousands of trained men of numerous Baluch sardars .
We cannot forget the sacrifices of KPK peace Lashkars.
I can go on and on, i feel time has come to organise these numerous militias and put them into more productive roles. We can also pay them nominal stipends and train them further.I have no evidence to show but some analysts put the combined strength of Militias and Razakaars above one million.
I feel in an event of any eventuality this Civilian Army of Pakistan can become a part/bulk of our strike force for Kashmir or as our line of defence along with other reserves .
