 The PDPA Politburo voted in favour of giving membership to the military officers; the victors (the Khalqists) portrayed the Parchamites as opportunists (they implied that the Parchamites had ridden the revolutionary wave, but not actually participated in the revolution).To make matters worse for the Parchamites, the term Parcham was, according to Taraki, a word synonymous with factionalism.On 27 June, three months after the revolution, Amin managed to outmaneuver the Parchamites at a Central Committee meeting.
