On 22 April, 26 people were killed by a group of Maidan terrorists in Basaron, Pahalgam in Anantnag district of South Kashmir. The whole country was shaken by this incident. During this attack, The Resistance Front (TRF) caught the attention of the people. An organization that initially took responsibility for the attack, but later overturned with its claim. Today, after Operation Sindoor on May 7, its name has once again jumped in the press briefing. It was said that there was a full hand in the attack. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri addressed the press briefing and explained how TRF has been involved in this.
Ministry of External Affairs put its side
Talking about this, Vikram Misri said, ‘A group calling himself The Resistance Front (TRF) has claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack. The group is a mask of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistani terrorist group banned by the United Nations. It is noteworthy that in May and November 2024, India informed the United Nations’ 1267 Ban Committee monitoring team in the half-yearly report, in which its role was revealed as a cover for Pakistan-based terrorist groups. Earlier, in December 2023, India had informed the monitoring team about Lashkar and Jaish-e-Mohammed who are working through small terrorist groups like TRF.
What is TRF role in Pahalgam attack
In this episode, he further said, ‘Pakistan’s pressure is notable in this regard to remove TRF references in a press statement of the United Nations Security Council on 25 April. The investigation of the Pahalgam terror attack has revealed the communication nodes of terrorists in Pakistan and for Pakistan. The claims made by The Resistance Front and re-posting him by the well-known social media handle of Lashkar-e-Taiba tells everything in itself. Based on the statements of eyewitnesses, along with the identity of the attackers, other information available with law enforcement agencies has also progressed. Our intelligence agencies have prepared an accurate picture of the planners and supporters of this team.
There should be talk in international forums
At the end of this, he said, ‘The wires of this attack are also associated with Pakistan’s long track records of spreading terror from across the border in India, which is well documented and beyond the question. Taking a sarcasm, it was said that Pakistan also has a good reputation that it is an shelter for terrorists around the world, where internationally banned terrorists stay away from punishment. Apart from this, Pakistan is deliberately known to mislead the world and international forums, such as financial action work force on this issue.
What is TRF?
Security agencies in Kashmir sees TRF as a branch of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LET). Many security experts in Kashmir believe that the purpose of this nomenclature is to present themselves as ideological forces of the new era and to separate themselves from other Islamic groups like al-Qaeda and Jaish-e-Muhammad. The Resistance Front name is engaged in creating a distinct from the traditional rebel groups of Kashmir. However, Indian officials have consistently stated that TRF is actually a part of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a terrorist group running from Pakistan or has a mask. India says that Pakistan carries out terrorist activities in Kashmir on the strength of this.
Earlier, the attack was carried out
Let me tell you, in June 2024, TRF also claimed responsibility for an attack on a bus carrying Hindu pilgrims in the Reasi area of Jammu, killing at least nine people and injured 33. The bus fell into the ditch during the attack. TRF made its mark on the basis of its deadly attacks, as well as the old and new strategies together. Due to the name of English, he has made his place on social media. Apart from social media, it is provoking people with the help of the same old techniques.
