In the aftermath of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, India's technical team will be interacting with United Nations Security Council’s (UNSC) 1267 Sanctions Committee today, to designate The Resistance Front (TRF) as a terrorist organisation, imposing sanctions and travel bans on its members.
"An Indian technicial team is in New York. They are interacting today with the Monitoring Team of the 1267 Sanctions Committee and other partner countries in the UN. They will also be meeting with the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) and Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED)," sources told ET.
The team will present the latest evidence highlighting Pakistan’s complicity in terrorism, reported ET citing its sources. The evidence will focus on the role of TRF in the April 22 terrorist attack, in which 26 civilians were killed.
Pakistan, a UNSC non-permanent member, has been safeguarding TRF at UNSC with the help of China and was successful in blocking the mention of the terror outfit’s name in a UNSC statement, condemning the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, sources told ET.
TRF has claimed responsibility for the attack twice.
The 1267 Sanctions Committee, also known as the ISIS and Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee, that was established under UNSC Resolution in 1999, is one of the most important UN subsidiary bodies working towards combating terrorism, particularly in relation to ISIS, Al-Qaeda and associated individuals, groups, undertakings and entities. It also decides on sanction measures related to individuals, entities and groups, associated with the terror organisations and ensures the implementation of sanctions pursuant to UNSC resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015).
TRF emerged as an offshoot of LeT after Article 370 was abrogated in J&K in 2019. The National Investigation Agency’s probe has nailed TRF’s involvement in planning, killings, recruiting terrorists and smuggling weapons.
