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.

Within three days of the terrorist attack on 22 April in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, India handed over concrete evidence to the US to include the Pakistan-backed terrorist organization The Resistance Front (TRF) in the list of official terrorist organizations of America.

According to the report of News18, the intelligence and technical data that India handed over to America met the high standards of US State Department. This process of America is important in this sense because it is largely free from the political complexities of forums like UNSC. Three days after the terrorist attack on 22 April, on 25 April, India gave complete information about the attack to major countries like America, Britain, China, Russia and France.

What did Foreign Secretary Vikram Egypt tell?

Foreign Secretary Vikram Egypt told the diplomats of these countries how the attack took place, how many people were killed and the initial investigation has revealed the name of TRF. This briefing was for representatives of G20 countries. India clearly said in these meetings that TRF is not a separate organization, but a new form of Pakistan based Lashkar-e-Taiba. India continuously explained this to America and other Western countries.

What did India talk to America?

1. TRF is a proxy organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba and works on its gestures.

2. Sheikh Sajjad Gul’s name has appeared as the mastermind of TRF in India’s NIA investigation.

3. TRF has already taken responsibility for many terrorist attacks.

4. Its activities are similar to other terrorist organizations of Pakistan.

The US took these things and evidence of India seriously. Declaring TRF as a terrorist organization on July 18, the US State Department admitted that the intelligence inputs and evidence given by India are completely reliable and TRF is part of Lashkar.

Ishaq Dar tried to save TRF

Meanwhile, there is also news that Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar tried to save TRF. The reports claimed that he removed TRF’s name from the statement of the United Nations Security Council, while TRF himself took responsibility for the Pahalgam attack.

India’s diplomatic victory after America’s decision

This decision has given India a diplomatic victory and has proved that TRF is a new face of banned terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba. Also, this step also strengthens cooperation against terrorism between India and America.
