A Primer on The Resistance Front, the Group Behind the Pahalgam Attack
- On April 22, 2025, a terrorist attack in Pahalgam's Baisaran Valley killed 26 people, including 25 tourists and one local pony handler.
- The attack followed reconnaissance by Lashkar-e-Taiba-linked militants who stayed days in the area and targeted Baisaran citing lower security levels.
- Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar stated that Islamabad successfully pressured the UN Security Council to omit The Resistance Front's name from a statement condemning the attack.
- Dar stated that Pakistan resisted including TRF in the United Nations Security Council’s condemnation of the Pahalgam attack and challenged the terrorist label assigned to TRF, arguing that it is merely a local group.
- The incident intensified diplomatic tensions and calls for justice, with India seeking accountability while Pakistan defended TRF and influenced international discourse.
