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. Pakistan, after turning the rebellion into an outright invasion,[7] installed Ibrahim Khan as the President of the rebel-controlled region, called Azad Jammu and Kashmir.[8]
The Muslim Conference has ever since held the reins of power in Azad Kashmir, supported by the Government of Pakistan.
