Explain that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared TRF on Thursday as a global terrorist organization, saying that the Pahalgam terror attack was the biggest terrorist attack on citizens in India after the 2008 Mumbai attacks. He also said that this action is evidence of US national security, fight against terrorism, and cooperation with India. Significantly, ‘The Resistance Front’ (TRF) took responsibility for the Pahalgam terror attack. TRF chief Sheikh Sajjad Gul has been described by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) as the mastermind of the Pahalgam attack. TRF is the proxy wing (facade branch) of Pakistan’s terrorist organization ‘Lashkar-e-Taiba’. TRF has been carrying out terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir for many years. In particular, attacks and target killings on security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have been part of the TRF strategy. Non-Kashmiri citizens, especially TRF targets.
The US State Department declares a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) in view of the activities of an organization. FY is prohibited from FTO. Apart from this, no one will be able to give donations or any kind of help to this organization. At the same time, the US also appeals to other countries to take action against that organization.
