View of Indian Security forces:
- The Resistance Front (TRF) is a front organization of the Pakistan-backed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
- It was promoted by Pakistan and created in August 2019 following the withdrawal of Article 370.
- All attacks carried out by the Pakistan-backed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) are being pinned on the newly formed “seasonal” group in the Kashmir Valley in order to escape scrutiny by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and avoid further sanctions.
- The global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog is to review Pakistan’s performance in acting against terror funding at its next meeting in Beijing in June.
- Pakistan wants to project Kashmiri terrorism as a resistance movement by Kashmiris. So far Hizbul and LeT have come under TRF’s umbrella.
