Congress leader Shashi Tharoor praised America's decision to label The Resistance Front as a terrorist group. The organization operates as a Pakistani proxy for Lashkar-e-Taiba and claimed responsibility for the deadly Pahalgam assault. Twenty-six people died in the April attack that prompted President Trump to demand accountability from the perpetrators. Tharoor believes the designation will force Pakistan to confront terror groups operating within its borders. The Thiruvananthapuram representative shared his concerns during recent Washington discussions about Pakistani safe havens for extremists.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio formally added TRF to America's foreign terrorist organization list Thursday. External Affairs Minister Jaishankar previously raised these concerns during diplomatic meetings with American officials. The designation represents a significant milestone in India-US counterterrorism cooperation efforts. Parliamentary delegates, led by Tharoor, briefed American lawmakers about TRF activities last month. This action demonstrates growing international pressure on state sponsors of terrorism.
