🚨 U.S. Designates TRF as Global Terrorist Group: A Boost to India's Counterterrorism Efforts
In a significant move, the United States has officially designated The Resistance Front (TRF) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). This strengthens global efforts in combating terrorism and reinforces U.S.-India cooperation on security matters.
The TRF, which emerged in 2019 after the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir, is widely seen as a proxy for Pakistan-backed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). While it presents itself under a modern-sounding name to avoid global scrutiny, its actions—especially targeting civilians, minorities, security forces, and even infrastructure in J&K—reveal its true nature.
This group has:
Claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam terror attack
Targeted Hindu pilgrims, Kashmiri Pandits, and migrant laborers
Attacked infrastructure projects like the Zojila Tunnel
The U.S. designation is not just symbolic. It brings with it sanctions, funding restrictions, and tighter surveillance—limiting TRF's global reach and resources. This development mirrors India’s own 2023 designation of TRF under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) and reflects the growing alignment between U.S. and Indian counterterror strategies.
What’s important to recognize is Pakistan’s tactic of disguising radical outfits with neutral or global-sounding names like TRF or PAFF (People's Anti-Fascist Force) to avoid FATF sanctions and global backlash. But the world is seeing through this now.
Diplomacy works—especially when backed by intelligence, partnerships, and persistence.
