US Declares Pakistan's TRF a Terror Group Major Win for India at FATF? The Brass Tacks
The U.S. has designated Pakistan's TRF as a foreign terrorist organization, marking a significant step in counter-terrorism efforts. This move strengthens India's case for grey-listing Pakistan at the FATF, amid ongoing tensions and diplomatic challenges. In a major diplomatic and counter-terrorism development, the United States has officially designated The Resistance Front (TRF)—a Pakistan-backed outfit operating in Kashmir—as a foreign terrorist organization. This move marks a strong endorsement of India's long-standing claims about Pakistan's role in harboring and financing cross-border designation not only freezes TRF assets and imposes travel bans but also strengthens India's case to push for Pakistan's grey-listing at the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The development comes amid ongoing Indo-Pak tensions, international scrutiny over terror financing, and India's growing strategic influence. News18 Mobile App -

US Terms Pakistan's Pahalgam Mastermind TRF Global Terror Group: Why It Is A Shot In Arm For India
Sources say the government has written yet another letter to FATF to consider India's demand to put Pakistan on the grey list for its involvement in terror activities The United States' acknowledgment of The Resistance Front (TRF), believed to be the mastermind behind the Pulwama terror act, as a global terror organisation is a huge shot in the arm for Indian efforts to ensure that Pakistan is placed on the grey list of Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Sources say that the government has written yet another letter to FATF to consider this demand from India. Pakistan was delisted in 2022 and India has been making the case that the funds and aid which Pakistan gets from global financial institutions are used for terror. In fact, recently, an interim report of the FATF had issued a statement condemning terror acts, which is considered to be rare. The reason, it is believed, is because the international community has felt the severity of the attack and spotlights that such attacks will not go unpunished. Being put on the grey list means the country cannot control money-laundering and terror-financing operations and is put under increased monitoring by FATF, an inter-governmental body. It restricts access to the international trade and financial system. The country can face difficulty in getting loans from multilateral organisations like International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. Being on the FATF grey list is a warning to the countries to take corrective measures, failing which they will be moved to the stringent 'FATF Black List'. FATF meeting in September-October The FATF meeting is expected to take place now in September-October. The government has sent many letters and also reached out to make the point that the funds and aid given in 'good faith" are being misused by Pakistan. The money meant for the welfare and upliftment of the Pakistani people is not being used for the cause. Instead, the funds are diverted to fund terror organisations, and which is something the world needs to wake up to. What India has also said is that there is evidence to show that Pakistan's connection to terror acts is like a thread which strings many global terrorist organizations like Hamas. Therefore, it is in the interest of global powers like the US to ensure that Pakistan is put in the grey list. India has been reaching out to FATF members like Mexico, Argentina, Canada, Denmark through backdoor to push its case. With the US now putting the terror label, India has hope. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
