The party was founded in 1941 by Chaudhry Ghulam Abbas, Mirwaiz Yusuf Shah, Agha Shaukat Ali and Syed Aziz Badshah of Dadyal in the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir as a splinter group of the Jammu & Kashmir National Conference, which toke the name the National Conference went by from its founding in October 1932 until June 1939.
After the Partition of India, the party supported the accession of the princely state to Pakistan, and instigated the Poonch Rebellion against the Maharaja's government under the leadership of its legislator Sardar Muhammad Ibrahim Khan.
