During the 1980s, it served as the ground base and the ideological headquarter of the Movement for the Restoration of Democracy (MRD) to take down the anti-Soviet and far-right US-baked military dictatorship of General Zia-ul-Haq.[5] The number of its members are vary and the central executive committee does not have any limitations as it goes to the membership of the party.
