The group was founded in 1987, and is headed by Asiya Andrabi, an "Islamic feminist". During the Kashmir militancy in the early 1990s, the group issued threats to women not wearing a face veil and burqa, some of whom became victims of acid attacks.

The Government of India designated it a terrorist organisation and banned it in 2018.

The group mainly advocated through internet platforms rather than armed activity. On 2018, NIA arrested its leader Asiya Andrabi and her secretary for promoting terrorist activities, after her arrest the group became inactive and is considered as defunct.
