On Friday, India lauded the US for officially designating Lashkar-e-Toiba's proxy, The Resistance Force (TRF), as a global terrorist group. This move was well-received by Indian officials, reinforcing the strong counter-terrorism ties between the two nations.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar commended US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for this crucial decision, highlighting it as a testament to the India-US collaborative stance against terrorism. He acknowledged the impact on social media, emphasizing the significance of the US's recognition of TRF.
The TRF is responsible for several attacks, notably the Pahalgam attack, which marked the deadliest assault on Indian civilians since the 2008 Mumbai attacks. The US State Department's designation signifies the Trump Administration's dedication to counterterrorism and seeking justice for affected communities.
