After the terrorist attack on April 22 in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan has now given open clarification after the US declares ‘The Resistance Front’ (TRF) as a foreign terrorist organization. Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar said after meeting US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at Washington DC that if the US has any evidence about TRF, Pakistan will welcome it.

Regarding TRF, both India and America believe that this is a new face of Pakistan-based terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba. This is the same organization that took responsibility for the deadly attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April 2025, in which many civilians died, but Pakistan is still keeping distance from TRF. Ishaq Dar said, “Lashkar-e-Taiba was abolished by Pakistan years ago. Action was taken against him, people were arrested, the organization was destroyed. He has nothing to do with TRF.”

What did Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Dar say?

Dar also stated that Pakistan had strongly opposed the inclusion of TRF in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) statement, in which the Pahalgam attack was condemned. He had told in Parliament, “We received calls from many countries, but Pakistan opposed the mention of TRF and finally that name was removed.” However, the US has officially termed the TRF as an official foreign terrorist organization (FTO) and a particularly designated global terrorist (SDGT). Pakistan welcomed it and said that if there is any evidence, it should be shared, but it is wrong to link the organization with Lashkar-e-Taiba.

India had already declared TRF terrorist organization

India had already declared TRF as a terrorist organization in January 2023 under the UAPA Act. According to South Asia Terrorism Portal, TRF started in 2019 via social media. After this, this organization has taken responsibility for many attacks – including grenade attacks, targeted murders and attacks on soldiers in Srinagar.

India has been trying to declare TRF as terrorists at the international level for the last two years. For this, in 2023, May 2024 and November 2024, India also presented evidence before the United Nations’s 1267 Sanction Committee.

What did India say about TRF?

India says that Pakistan’s army and government promotes terrorism across the border and organizations like TRF are used to spread violence in Jammu and Kashmir. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also said in a recent address, “India believes in tourism, but Pakistan considers terrorism as tourism, which is dangerous for the world.”

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Pakistan Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Friday (July 25, 2025) in Washington. The meeting was held with the aim of strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries. In a statement issued after the meeting, Rubio said that he thanked Ishaq Dar for cooperation in maintaining partnership and regional stability against terrorism. The two leaders also discussed to increase mutual trade and further cooperation in the mineral sector.

America’s strict action on terrorist organization TRF

The meeting has taken place at a time when the US has decided to declare ‘The Resistance Front’ (TRF) as Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and Global Terrorist Organization (SDGT) a few days ago. TRF, Pakistan-based terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba is considered to be a mask organization. Significantly, TRF took responsibility for the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April, in which 26 innocent citizens were killed.

Indo-Pak relationship also involved in agenda

It was already clarified by Pakistan that India-Pakistan relations would also be discussed during Ishaq Dar’s visit to America. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Shafkat Ali Khan said on Thursday (July 24, 2025), “Indo-Pak issue will also exchange ideas.”

The US has been taking credit for arbitration in the ceasefire between India and Pakistan for a long time, which India has dismissed many times, but Pakistan has recognized. Shafkat Ali Khan said, “We are grateful to the role of America, which reduced stress and ceasefire was possible.”

Pakistan accused of supporting terrorism

India has been continuously accusing Pakistan of supporting terrorism. India says that the government of Pakistan and the army are involved in cross -border terrorism and provide financial assistance and safe havens to terrorist organizations.

After the Pahalgam terror attack, India retaliated by launching Operation Sindoor. During this time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his address, “India believes in tourism, while Pakistan considers terrorism as tourism, which is very dangerous for the world.”

He also said that terrorism has become a means of earning money for the Government of Pakistan and the army and appealed to the Pakistani people to raise their voice against terror.

Michael rubin remark on asim munir: Former Pentagon officer and senior Fellow Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute has made a sensational statement. He criticized the Pakistan Army and its chief General Asim Munir, saying that he is the same as Osama bin Laden, the only difference is that he was hidden in one cave and the other lives in the palace. He made this comment at a time when a terrible terrorist attack took place in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, in which 26 civilians were killed.

Speaking to India’s news agency ANI, Rubin also said that America should declare Pakistan as Terrorism Sponsor and Aseem Munir should be declared as terrorists at the international level. He clarified that the attack was part of a well -planned strategy. Rubin compared the timing of this attack to the Chittisinghpura massacre during Bill Clinton’s visit to India in 2000. He believes that the attack has been carried out with the aim of diverting the attention of US Vice President JD Vance’s visit to India.

Pahalgam attack and Pakistan’s suspicious role
The attack took place on Tuesday (22 April 2025) at the popular Basaron Maidan, where a bus filled with tourists was targeted, in which 26 innocent people lost their lives. This terrorist attack shook the country. India’s security agencies indicated in the initial investigation that the attack was planned from the border and it has the role of Pakistan -based terrorist organizations. After this incident, when the bodies were taken to their families and the funeral was performed, there was a wave of resentment across the country.

India’s strict diplomatic response
India has given the most strict diplomatic response against Pakistan so far. Foreign Secretary Vikram Egypt made several important announcements at the press conference. The Indus Water Treaty of 1960 was also suspended and it was decided to close the Attari land-tradition post with immediate effect. Apart from this, under the SAARC Visa Rebate Scheme, the permission of Pakistani citizens to come to India was canceled and the citizens present in India were directed to leave the country within 48 hours. Not only this, defense, Navy and Air Force advisors working at the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi were also declared ‘unwanted person’ and have been ordered to leave India within a week.

Role of international community and Rubin demand
Michael Rubin urged the US to declare Pakistan a sponsor country of terrorism. He said that Pakistan has been giving protection to terrorist organizations for decades and has become a threat to global peace. Rubin warned that if strict steps were not taken against Pakistan, it will encourage even more deadly attacks in the future. He said that now the time has come to stop ignoring the activities of Pakistan and other global powers and take appropriate action.
