In 1932 [[Sheikh Abdullah]] formed [[Kashmir]]'s first political party, the All Jammu & Kashmir Muslim Conference, with a demand for merger of Kashmir into India. His party was renamed the National Conference in 1939 to suite the secular nature of Kashmiri culture. The All Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, led by Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah, espoused a secular ideology and wished to create a secular, democratic but independent Kashmir with close ties to India.


The Muslim Conference has ever since held the reins of power in Azad Kashmir, supported by the Government of Pakistan.
When the All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference was converted into a secular political party in 1939, the Muslim leaders amended the Constitution of the Muslim Conference, renamed it as the All Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, modified its objectives and threw its membership open to all the people of the State. On 13 June 1941, the breakaway factions of the National Conference revived the erstwhile Muslim Conference under the leadership of Choudry Ghualm Abbas. Later Sardar Abdul Qayyum led the party for many many years.

== History and achievements of All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference ==

The movement was started by the All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference after its induction as a political platform of the Muslims in August 1932 in Srinagar. Prominent amongst the participants were Sardar Gohar Rehman, Chaudhry Ghulam Abbass, Khwaja Ghulam Ahmad Ashai, Mistri Yaqoob Ali, Sheikh Ghulam Qadir and [[Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah]]. Sardar Gohar Rehman favoured the formation of Provincial Muslim Conference in Jammu, but he was prevailed upon by the others to relegate his demand in favour of All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference.

To unite Kashmiri Muslims on a common platform. It was an enormous task in the wake of the deep variance in the political thinking of Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah and Mir Waiz Mohammed Yusuf Shah who parted way along with his his aides towards the end of the first session.


== Inaugural Session ==
In the aftermath of the gatherings convened in the last week of August 1932, in the "Pathar Masjid" ( Stone Mosque ) of Srinagar, attended by well over sixty thousand Muslims, the dates for the First Session of the Muslim Conference were specified from 15 October to 17 October 1932, at the same venue, later extended by two days to facilitate the completion of pending formalities. Elaborate arrangements were made with a fifteen foot high stage to accommodate the members of the Reception Committee, 200 hundred delegates and one thousand visitors. Besides, loudspeakers were installed at various places and the stage was canopied with a colourful cupola (Shamiana). Thousands of enthusiasts were present in the Gallery and on the floor. The area surrounding the stage was packed to capacity and according to one estimate the crowd was numbered to be around 3 lacs,
The session commenced in the afternoon of 15 October, with Khawaja [[Ghulam Ahmad Ashai]] speaking on behalf of the Reception Committee, and highlighting the purposes of the establishment of Muslim Conference, emphasising that its members were loyal to the state. In his Presidential address, Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah, while appreciating the Glancy Commission's Recommendations, bitterly criticised its non implementation by the administration and demanded withdrawal of Ordinances in the Mirpur District along with freedom of the Press and use of the Political Platform. Elaborating, he criticised the set-up of the Proposed Constituent Assembly and demanded restoration of the just rights of the people of Poonch.
