Hezb-e Islami Khalis

Hezb-e Islami Khalis

In 1979 Maulawi Khalis separated from Engineer Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's Hezb-e Islami and formed his own resistance group, that was also called Hezb-e islami. The two parties were distinguished as Hezb-e Islami Gulbuddin and Hezb-e Islami Khalis, after the names of their respective leaders.

The Khalis party was part of the "Peshawar Seven", who fought against the Soviet presence in Afghanistan. Among its most famous commanders were Abdul Haq and Jalaluddin Haqqani.
