Srinagar, Jul 18: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Jammu & Kashmir spokesperson Altaf Thakur on Friday welcomed the United States’ decision to designate The Resistance Front (TRF) as a global terrorist organisation, calling it not just a victory for truth, but a major diplomatic triumph for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign policy.
Thakur, in a statement issued here, said the move reflects the growing global acknowledgement of India’s consistent stand on Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. “The US blacklisting of TRF is a direct outcome of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decisive and focused diplomatic engagement on the international stage. It proves that the world now listens to India and acts on its concerns,” he said.
Calling Pakistan the “undisputed headquarters of global jihad”, the BJP spokesperson said, “TRF is nothing but Lashkar-e-Taiba in disguise — a tool created by Pakistan’s ISI to continue proxy war in Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan’s strategy of rebranding terrorists to escape global sanctions has failed. This decision exposes its game.”
He lambasted Pakistan for continuously sheltering and supporting terrorists who have caused destruction in Kashmir and beyond. “This ban is a slap on the face of Pakistan, which has mastered the art of exporting terror under new labels. The mask has been ripped off,” he said.
Thakur praised PM Modi’s foreign policy for isolating Pakistan on the global stage. “Under Modi ji’s leadership, India’s global stature has risen, and its fight against terrorism is now a global campaign. This action by the US is a direct result of India’s assertive diplomacy,” he said.
He urged the international community to go beyond designations and impose harsh sanctions on TRF’s operatives, their funders, and their handlers sitting in Pakistan. “Terror has no name or religion, and the world must unite to dismantle Pakistan’s terror industry brick by brick,” he said.
The BJP spokesperson said this is a strong morale booster for India’s security forces and the people of Jammu and Kashmir. “This is the beginning of the end for fake fronts like TRF. We will not rest till every last terror outfit and its sponsor is destroyed. This is New India — strong, assertive, and globally respected,” he said.
