NEW DELHI: Indian delegation has ramped up efforts for United Nations listing of Lashkar-e-Taiba front The Resistance Front (TRF), according to news agency PTI, which cited sources.
A team from India met United Nations under-secretary-general Vladimir Voronkov of the office of counter-terrorism (UNOCT) and assistant secretary-general Natalia Gherman of the counter-terrorism committee executive directorate (CTED) to discuss strengthening counter-terrorism cooperation.
The meeting comes amid deteriorating relations between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack , for which 'The Resistance Front' (TRF) had claimed responsibility. TRF is a front for the UN-proscribed Pakistani terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
On the visit of the Indian Technical Team at UN in New York, a spokesperson told ANI, the meeting revisited commitments made under the 2022 Delhi Declaration, which was adopted by the counter-terrorism committee under India's chairmanship.
They also discussed the development of non-binding guiding principles, crafted with CTED's support, to address threats from unmanned aerial systems and the exploitation of new financial technologies by terrorist networks.
Voronkov and Gherman extended their condolences to the delegation over the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam. The terrorist attack prompted a sharp military escalation in the region.
In response to the Pahalgam incident, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The operation led to the deaths of over 100 terrorists affiliated with Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM).
Pakistan retaliated with cross-border shelling and attempted drone strikes along the Line of Control. In a countermeasure, India launched coordinated attacks damaging radar systems, communication hubs, and airbases within Pakistani territory.
The meeting in New York highlighted ongoing multilateral efforts to implement UN security council counter-terrorism resolutions and the UN global counter-terrorism strategy. Key areas of collaboration between India and the UN bodies include cybersecurity, countering terrorist travel , aiding victims of terrorism, and disrupting terror financing mechanisms.
