A UNSC Monitoring Team report has linked The Resistance Front to the deadly Pahalgam attack, citing Lashkar-e-Taiba’s backing, reinforcing India's position on cross-border terrorism.

UNSC Report Cites TRF as LeT Proxy in Pahalgam Attack

UNSC: TRF Tied to LeT in Attack

A UNSC Monitoring Team report has linked The Resistance Front to the deadly Pahalgam attack, citing Lashkar-e-Taiba&rsquo;s backing, reinforcing India's position on cross-border terrorism.

The Resistance Front, a proxy of the Lashkar-e-Taiba terror group, has found mention for the first time in a UN Security Council (UNSC) report for its role in the Pahalgam attack that is expected to bolster India's diplomatic offensive against Pakistan-backed cross-border terrorism.
The report by the UNSC's Monitoring Team (MT) quoted one unnamed member state as saying that the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir could not have happened without Lashkar-e-Taiba's (LeT) support and that there was a relationship between the "LeT and The Resistance Front (TRF).
The development is significant as all decisions of the UNSC's 1267 Sanctions Committee, including reports, are adopted by consensus by members of the top body of the UN, people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
The Pakistan foreign minister boasted in the Pakistan National Assembly about forcing the removal of references to TRF in the UNSC press statement condemning the Pahalgam attack, they recalled.
The mention of the TRF in the MT report is how the world views Pakistan's "lies and deceitful narrative", the people said on condition of anonymity.
The MT report said five terrorists carried out the Pahalgam attack. Twenty-six civilians were killed in the attack.
"The attack was claimed that same day by The Resistance Front (TRF), which in parallel published a photograph of the attack site. The claim of responsibility was repeated the following day," it said.
The report also noted that TRF retracted the claim on April 26 and there was no further communication from it, adding no other group claimed responsibility.
"Regional relations remain fragile. There is a risk that terrorist groups may exploit these regional tensions. One member State said the attack could not have happened without LeT's support, and that there was a relationship between LeT and TRF," the report said.
"Another member state said the attack was carried out by TRF, which was synonymous with LeT. One member state rejected these views and said that LeT was defunct," it said.
The member state which claimed that LeT was defunct largely appears to be Pakistan.
The UNSC's 1267 Sanctions Committee is tasked to implement sanctions against terrorists, terror groups, and entities.
The people cited above said 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 and JeM (Jaish-e-Mohammed) terror groups and give an indigenous appearance to its terrorist activities in Jammu and Kashmir -- now stands "punctured".
This also marks the first mention of the LeT and Pakistan-based terror groups in the report since 2019.
"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," one of the people cited above said.
It also attests to our credibility in the UN on the counter-terror front, the person said.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said in the Lok Sabha that the three terrorists killed in Operation Mahadev in Jammu and Kashmir on Monday were those who carried out the Pahalgam strike.&nbsp;

India applauds the US decision to designate Lashkar-e-Toiba's proxy, TRF, responsible for the Pahalgam attack, as a global terrorist entity, highlighting US-India counter-terrorism efforts.

India on Friday welcomed the US move to designate The Resistance Front, a proxy of Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) that was behind the Pahalgam attack, as a global terrorist organisation.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar described Washington's decision on The Resistance Front (TRF) as a "strong affirmation" of India-US counter-terrorism cooperation.
In a social media post, he specially complimented US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for designating the proxy of Pakistan-based LeT.

"Appreciate @SecRubio and @StateDept for designating TRF - a Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT) proxy - as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). It claimed responsibility for the April 22 Pahalgam attack," the external affairs minister said.
Earlier, the US State Department said it is adding TRF as a designated Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT).
The US State Department also noted that the TRF claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack which killed 26 civilians.
"This was the deadliest attack on civilians in India since the 2008 Mumbai attacks conducted by LeT," it said.
"TRF has also claimed responsibility for several attacks against Indian security forces, including most recently in 2024," it said.
"TRF and other associated aliases have been added to LeT's designation as a FTO and SDGT pursuant to Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and Executive Order 13224, respectively. The Department of State has also reviewed and maintained the FTO designation of LeT," Rubio said.
The State Department said its actions demonstrates the Trump administration's commitment to "protecting our national security interests, countering terrorism, and enforcing President Trump's call for justice for the Pahalgam attack".

Sheikh Sajjad Gul, leading TRF, masterminded the Pahalgam attack in Kashmir, resulting in 26 fatalities. Operating under Lashkar-e-Taiba's shield, Gul has led numerous violent assaults impacting regional security.

Sheikh Sajjad Gul: TRF Leader Behind Pahalgam Attack

Sheikh Sajjad Gul, the TRF leader from Kashmir, orchestrated the Pahalgam terror attack, killing 26. Operating from Rawalpindi with Lashkar-e-Taiba, his actions have destabilized the region over several years.

Sajjad Gul linked to Kashmir horror

Kashmir's Sheikh Sajjad Gul is the mastermind behind the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives. Operating from Rawalpindi under Lashkar-e-Taiba, he has led several violent acts targeting Kashmir's stability.

Sheikh Sajjad Gul, a 50-year-old Kashmiri and head of Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy The Resistance Front (TRF), has emerged as the mastermind of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people, mostly tourists, on April 22, officials said Wednesday.
Holed up in the cantonment town of Rawalpindi, Pakistan, under the patronage of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Gul, who also goes by the alias of Sajjad Ahmed Sheikh, has been a planner of a number of terror attacks, including targeted killings between 2020 and 2024 in Central and South Kashmir, grenade attacks in Central Kashmir in 2023, the ambush of J&amp;K police personnel in Bijbehra in Anantnag, and the Gagangir Z-Morh Tunnel attack in Ganderbal.
The NIA had designated him a terrorist in April 2022 and kept a reward of Rs 10 lakh on his head.
The official said that during the investigation into the deadly April 22 Pahalgam attack, links and some communications have been traced back to Gul. The TRF had claimed responsibility for the attack.
The group, under Gul's instruction, had shot 25 tourists at point-blank range after asking their religion in Pahalgam on April 22. A local tourist guide was also killed by the terrorists.
Used by Pakistan's external snooping agency ISI as a Kashmiri face of the local Punjabi-dominated Lashkar-e-Taiba, Sheikh was educated in Srinagar and did his MBA in Bangalore, later pivoting to a lab technician course in Kerala. He returned to the Valley, where he opened a diagnostic lab and started providing logistical support to the terror group.
During his work as an overground worker (OGW) of the terror group, Gul was caught by the Special Cell of the Delhi police in 2002 at Nizamuddin Railway Station with 5 kilograms of RDX. It was revealed that he was conducting a recce and conspiring to conduct serial blasts in the national capital, for which he was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment on August 7, 2003.
He moved to Pakistan after his release from prison in 2017, where the ISI chose him to lead a proxy of the LeT &mdash; The Resistance Front (TRF)&mdash;in Kashmir in 2019 to give it a facade of an indigenous terror movement of Jammu and Kashmir.
The creation of TRF was a strategy of the ISI in the aftermath of the Pulwama incident in February 2019, when Pakistan had come to the adverse notice of the world for sponsoring and harboring terror outfits like LeT and JeM.
His brother, an ex-doctor in Shri Maharaja Hari Singh Hospital, Srinagar, was also a terrorist in the 1990s who had migrated to Saudi Arabia and later to Pakistan, where he is now involved in terror funding with fugitives in Gulf countries.

Sheikh Sajjad Gul, a commander of TRF, has also been designated a terrorist under UAPA law.

Sheikh Sajjad Gul, a commander of TRF, has also been designated a terrorist under UAPA law.

The Union government on 5 January 2023 banned The Resistance Front (TRF), a terrorist group seen as a proxy for Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba.
TRF was declared a banned organisation for recruiting youth for terrorism, infiltration of terrorists, and smuggling of weapons and narcotics from Pakistan, according to the Home ministry.
Sheikh Sajjad Gul, a commander of TRF, has also been designated a terrorist under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.
