A recent report sheds light on the active operational capacity of a Pakistan-backed network following the Pahalgam terrorist attack last year. Despite facing setbacks and diplomatic scrutiny, the terror infrastructure in Pakistan continues to expand. The attack, orchestrated by The Resistance Front (TRF) in Pahalgam, resulted in the tragic killing of 26 Hindu tourists.
The TRF, established in 2019 as a proxy of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), has been designated a ‘Foreign Terrorist Organisation’ by the US Department of State. This designation aligns with the documented operational reality in India. The report notes a concerning trend of mainstreaming Pakistan’s jihadist network, exemplified by the formation of Jaish-e-Mohammad’s women’s wing, ‘Jamaat-ul-Mominat’.
The consequences of Pakistan’s terror activities extend globally, with the country now ranked as the most terrorism-affected nation. The report urges global bodies like the FATF and UN 1267 Sanctions Committee to take action based on evidence. It emphasizes the need for international pressure on the Pakistani military to curb terrorism and dismantle terror networks.
