United Nations Security Council Finds Involvement Of TRF In Pahalgam Attack

 

In a significant development, the 1267 Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council in its Monitoring Committee report explicitly recorded the involvement of The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy outfit of LeT in the Pahalgam terror attack of April 22, 2025, where twenty-six civilians were killed. This is also the first time that TRF has been mentioned in any UN document.

 

This development is particularly notable as all decisions of the 1267 Sanctions Committee, including MT reports, are adopted by consensus by the members of the Security Council. The inclusion of TRF in the MT Report, despite Pakistan’s efforts for its removal, highlights Pakistan’s undeniable involvement in fomenting terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. With this development, Pakistan’s strategy of plausible deniability — using secular and modern names like “The Resistance Front” and “People Against Fascist Front” for its jihadi proxies to divert attention from LeT/JeM and give an indigenous appearance to its terrorist activities in Jammu & Kashmir — is now exposed. This also marks the first mention of LeT/Pakistan-based terror groups in the report since 2019. The monitoring committee in its report stated that on April 22, 2025, five terrorists attacked a tourist spot in Pahalgam, in Jammu and Kashmir. Twenty-six civilians were killed. “The attack was claimed that same day by The Resistant Front (TRF), who published a photograph of the attack site. The claim of responsibility was repeated the following day.
