Pakistan opposed TRF’s mention in UN statement on Pahalgam attack: FM Ishaq Dar

Pakistan's Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, said on Tuesday that his government objected to the inclusion of The Resistance Front (TRF) in a UN Security Council (UNSC) statement denouncing the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, according to the Firstpost.

Speaking in the National Assembly, Dar stated that Pakistan had two major objections: the statement marked out Pahalgam without mentioning Jammu and Kashmir, and it mentioned TRF without providing sufficient evidence. As a result, neither the location nor any group were mentioned in the final UN Security Council statement.

The April 22 attack killed 26 individuals. TRF, apparently a subsidiary of Lashkar-e-Taiba, first claimed responsibility before later denying it. Dar denied media reports linking TRF to the incident, describing it as a local forum rather than a terrorist organization, Firstpost reported.

He also mentioned that the UNSC statement took more than two days to prepare due to Pakistan's demand on modifications.
