==Formation==
The signs of a split within ranks of the Kerala unit of the [[Indian Union Muslim League]] emerged after the death of [[Abdurrahiman Bafaki Tangal|Abdurrahiman Baffakhy Thangal]] in January, 1973.<ref name=":9" /> The thangal had earlier made [[C. H. Mohammed Koya]] resign from the [[C. Achutha Menon|Achutha Menon]] Ministry and to contest for the [[Lok Sabha]] (1973).

The main reasons of the rift were,

# A power struggle between [[C. H. Mohammed Koya]] and Ummer Baffakhy Thangal.<ref name=":9" />
# A generational conflict within the Kerala unit of the [[Indian Union Muslim League]].<ref name=":9" />
# A dispute over tactics (whether to jeopardize the alliance with [[Indian National Congress]] in Kerala).<ref name=":9" />

Six rebel Members of the Kerala Legislative Assembly refused the whip in May 1975.<ref name=":9" /> They were expelled from the party, and subsequently the 'Opposition League' or the 'rebel Muslim League' was formed.<ref name="Kumar1986">{{cite book|author=Gopa Kumar|first=G.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wuuJAAAAMAAJ|title=Regional Political Parties and State Politics|publisher=Deep & Deep Publications|year=1986|pages=58–60|isbn=9780836419108}}</ref>
