The Pahalgam Attack, a Blame Game, and the Truth Pakistan Can’t Hide

TRF, Terror, and a Twisted Tale:

On the quiet morning of April 22, 2025, the picturesque town of Pahalgam in Jammu & Kashmir turned into a horror scene. A brutal terrorist attack claimed 26 innocent lives, most of them Hindu tourists. India hadn’t witnessed such a heinous civilian massacre since the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

But what followed was a story of terror, denial, digital acrobatics, and an exposure of the dirty games played by proxy terror outfits based across the border.

🎭 TRF: A Ghost with a Gun

Right after the Pahalgam attack, a little-known but dangerous group named The Resistance Front (TRF) proudly took responsibility. For a day or two, they wore their cruelty like a badge of honour.

But then something curious happened.

Just a few days later, the same TRF backtracked. They put out a statement that sounded like it was written by a comedy writer on a tight deadline:

“We didn’t do it. Our social media account was hacked. Someone else posted the claim.”

This bizarre U-turn wasn’t just suspicious — it was laughable.
Why would a group, previously confident enough to own terror attacks, suddenly deny involvement in the bloodiest incident in years?

Answer: Pressure from their masters in Pakistan.

💣 The Pakistani Proxy Playbook: TRF = LeT in Disguise

TRF was never an independent outfit. It was created in 2019 as a “clean-skinned” face for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) after international scrutiny intensified on Pakistan-based terror groups post the revocation of Article 370 in Kashmir.

Founded by Muhammad Abbas Sheikh, a former Hizbul Mujahideen commander, TRF’s current operations are headed by Sheikh Sajjad Gul, a Kashmiri radical operating from Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

Sajjad Gul is not just another name. He’s the main architect behind multiple terror operations from Delhi blasts to targeted killings in Kashmir. He is also the alleged mastermind of the Pahalgam attack.

While TRF pretends to be a Kashmir-based “resistance,” their entire logistics, funding, arms supply, digital propaganda — all are controlled by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and coordinated with LeT’s hierarchy.

So when TRF initially took credit for the Pahalgam massacre, they forgot one thing — Pakistan was still in the process of denying LeT’s existence to the international community.

Caught in their own lie, they had to quickly make TRF eat their words.

📢 The Denial Drama: Hacked Accounts and Hollow Excuses

TRF’s laughable claim that their social media accounts were “hacked by Indian agencies” is nothing but a cooked-up tale under pressure from Pakistan’s top brass.
The reason?

Pakistan’s Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif, was simultaneously telling the world that LeT doesn’t even exist in Pakistan. How could TRF — a known LeT proxy — then admit to such a large-scale terror attack?

This contradiction would have exposed the entire terror-export machinery of Pakistan before the global community, jeopardizing their military aid, trade relations, and international standing.

So, they hit the emergency brakes. TRF retracted. Pakistan pretended nothing happened. But India wasn’t buying the act.

🔍 India’s Evidence: Operation Sindoor and the Hunt for Truth

India wasn’t sitting idle. In the days following the massacre, it launched Operation Sindoor, a precise military counter-operation to dismantle terror camps in Pakistan-occupied territories.

India clearly named Sheikh Sajjad Gul as the mastermind behind the attack. Intercepted communications, technical surveillance, and eyewitness testimonies pointed directly to TRF and their Pakistani handlers.

In a stunning development, India even arrested a CRPF Assistant Sub-Inspector, allegedly spying for Pakistan. Early interrogation reports hinted at his possible involvement in leaking sensitive troop movement data that may have aided the Pahalgam attack.

India’s intelligence dossier reveals that:

• The attackers were trained in Pakistan.
• Their infiltration routes were familiar LeT trails.
• The weapons used matched those previously traced to LeT-backed smuggling routes.

Despite all this, Pakistan tried to play innocent — a worn-out act the world has seen too many times.

🌍 India’s Global Push: Designating TRF as a Global Terror Group

India has now intensified its diplomatic outreach to get TRF listed as a terror group under the UN 1267 sanctions committee. The dossier includes:

• Video evidence of TRF leadership in Rawalpindi.
• Forensic analysis of the weapons used.
• Digital trail connecting TRF communications to LeT servers in Pakistan.

If successful, this move will bring sanctions, asset freezes, and travel bans on TRF members and their Pakistani backers — and finally expose the state-sponsored terrorism emanating from across the border.

🤯 The Bigger Picture: Why TRF Lied, and What It Tells Us

TRF’s withdrawal wasn’t about ethics. It was about optics. Pakistan wants to keep exporting terror while pretending to be a victim of extremism.

This dual-face diplomacy has been Pakistan’s standard play — cry peace in front of the UN, and pump bullets across the LoC.

But this time, the plan backfired.

India exposed them.
The international community took notice.
And Pakistan’s lie factory is running out of ink.

🧠 Final Thought: Terrorism Can’t Be Hidden Behind Proxy Accounts

What the world witnessed in Pahalgam wasn’t just a terror attack. It was a loud scream from the victims, demanding truth, justice, and accountability.

And no amount of “we were hacked” excuses from TRF can erase the blood on their hands.

It’s time for the world to stop giving Pakistan the benefit of the doubt.

Because in the war on terror, silence is complicity.
