India Urges UN to Designate LeT-Linked TRF as Terror Outfit Following Pahalgam Attack

India has intensified its diplomatic push at the United Nations, calling for the designation of The Resistance Front (TRF)—a known proxy of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)—as an officially recognized terrorist organization under UN counter-terrorism sanctions. The demand follows the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which resulted in the tragic loss of 26 lives, including security personnel and civilians.

Indian representatives, led by senior officials from the Ministry of External Affairs, met with key UN counter-terrorism bodies, including the UN Security Council’s 1267 Committee, to present concrete evidence of TRF’s involvement in terror activities. According to intelligence reports, TRF has been operating under the guidance of LeT, executing high-profile attacks across Jammu & Kashmir.

A senior official from India’s delegation stated, “TRF is merely a front for Lashkar-e-Taiba, designed to evade international sanctions. The world must recognize its true nature and take decisive action.”

India has reportedly submitted classified intelligence reports, intercepted communications, and financial transaction records linking TRF to LeT’s global terror financing network. The evidence outlines the group’s role in planning and executing attacks, including the Pahalgam incident, which was carried out using sophisticated weaponry and tactical coordination.

New Delhi’s push for TRF’s designation as a UN-listed terrorist organization would subject the group to asset freezes, travel bans, and arms embargoes, cutting off crucial resources used for terror operations. India has urged UN member states to back its request, emphasizing the need for a unified global stance against terrorism.

Several nations, including the United States, France, and Germany, have expressed concerns over TRF’s activities, with indications that they may support India’s motion at the UN. However, diplomatic challenges remain, particularly with nations that have historically blocked terror-related sanctions on Pakistan-based outfits.

The UN is expected to review India’s submission in the coming weeks, with discussions slated among member nations. A formal resolution, if passed, could significantly impact TRF’s operations and further expose Pakistan’s alleged role in harboring terror networks.
