History of the party

The party has roots in the Muslim League of Jinnah. IUML was founded on March 10, 1948. IUML claims to be the political organization of all Indian Muslims, but only a fraction of the Muslim masses of the country supports the party. Actually IUML was heavily in favour of creation of Pakistan.

The party participated in the ouster of the first communist government in Kerala in 1959.

In the elections in Kerala in 1967 the party had entered a united front led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist). The other members of the front were Communist Party of India, Revolutionary Socialist Party, Karshaka Thozhilali Party (Peasants and Workers Party), Kerala Socialist Party and Samyukta Socialist Party. Muslim League had two ministers in the state government of that front. In 1969 the party left the CPI(M)-led government and participated in the formation of a new government, led by Communist Party of India leader Achutha Menon as Chief Minister, together with CPI, RSP, KSP and Kerala Congress.

The immoral lifestyle and debauchery of the leaders have discredited the party in the state of Kerala, of late. Kunchalikkutty, generally viewed as the second man in the party echelon, fell into ignominy following his involvement in various sex scandals. The controversies over the criminal charges against him and accusations by one of his victims have caused high political drama in the state of Kerala in the recent past. While Muslim League's moderate stance on sensitive religious issues have wide approval in Kerala, the party has been on the receiving end for the violence of its activists especially against media persons.
