India Exposes TRF’s Pahalgam Attack Role with UN Evidence Submission

India presented irrefutable evidence to the UN Security Council’s 1267 Sanctions Committee, directly linking The Resistance Front to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians in Jammu and Kashmir. The submission, part of India’s broader diplomatic offensive, seeks to designate TRF as a global terrorist entity, amplifying pressure on Pakistan amid Operation Sindoor’s ongoing strikes.

Compelling Evidence Presented
India’s delegation, led by Ambassador JP Singh, submitted intercepted communications, social media claims, and intelligence reports tying TRF, a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) proxy, to the Pahalgam attack. TRF initially claimed responsibility on X, boasting of targeting Indian forces, though it later retracted. The evidence includes drone footage and financial trails linking TRF to LeT’s Hafiz Saeed, whose extradition India demands. The attack, involving IEDs and gunfire, was one of Kashmir’s deadliest in a decade, prompting India’s case for UN sanctions.

India’s Diplomatic Strategy
India’s UN push aligns with Operation Sindoor, launched May 7, targeting terror camps in Pakistan and PoK. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri emphasized TRF’s role as a front for LeT, accusing Pakistan of shielding terrorists. India’s dossier, backed by satellite imagery and informant testimonies, was shared with UN counter-terrorism officials in New York, urging global action. The move follows India’s successful lobbying for stricter IMF loan conditions on Pakistan, showcasing its diplomatic clout.

Pakistan’s Denials and Challenges
Pakistan, through its UN envoy, dismissed India’s claims as “propaganda,” denying TRF’s links to its soil. However, TRF’s formation in 2019 after Article 370’s revocation and its documented LeT ties weaken Pakistan’s stance. The group’s use of encrypted apps and cross-border funding, as highlighted in India’s evidence, exposes Pakistan’s complicity, analysts say. X posts from Indian users trended #BanTRF, reflecting public support for the UN bid.

Global Implications
A UN terror designation would freeze TRF’s assets and restrict its operatives’ travel, crippling its operations. India’s evidence, corroborated by independent reports, strengthens its case, though China’s potential veto looms. As India sustains Operation Sindoor, the UN submission underscores its resolve to dismantle terror networks, reshaping regional security dynamics and demanding global accountability.
