TRF Designated Terrorist Group Over Pahalgam Attack

The United States has officially designated The Resistance Front (TRF)—a proxy of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)—as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) in response to the deadly Pahalgam attack on April 22, 2025, which killed 26 civilians. The TRF had initially claimed responsibility for the attack, which targeted tourists in Jammu & Kashmir, before retracting the claim. India welcomed the U.S. move, calling it a strong step toward global counter-terrorism cooperation. The designation is expected to block TRF's financial assets, restrict international operations, and reinforce sanctions against groups linked to state-sponsored terrorism in the region.

On July 7, 2025, Mizoram Governor Gen. V.K. Singh imposed Governor’s Rule in the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) for six months, citing persistent political instability and maladministration following the collapse of the BJP-led executive. This move came after 12 BJP members defected to the Zoram People's Movement (ZPM), shifting the majority in the 20-member council. The Governor appointed the Lawngtlai Deputy Commissioner as caretaker administrator under provisions of the Sixth Schedule. The Mizoram state government strongly opposed the decision, calling it undemocratic and urging the Governor to allow the ZPM to form a new executive. An inquiry commission may also be set up to investigate administrative irregularities within the council.
