This operation is India’s response to the Pahalgam terror attack.

<p>In the press briefing on Monday (May 7) on Operation Sindoor, India's foreign secretary, Vikram Misri revealed that India has given inputs about 'The Resistance Front' (TRF) -&nbsp; the terror offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) - to the United Nations (UN).</p>
<p>"A group calling itself &ldquo;The Resistance Front&rdquo; has claimed responsibility for the attack. This group is a front for the UN-proscribed Pakistani terrorist group, Lashkar-e-Taiba. It is notable that India had given inputs about the TRF in the half-yearly report to the monitoring team of the UN's 1267 Sanctions Committee in May and November 2024, bringing out its role as a cover for Pakistan-based terrorist groups," Misri said.</p>
<p>Misri further informed that in December 2023, India had informed the monitoring team about Lashkar and Jaish-e-Mohammad operating through small terror groups such as the TRF. He said that Pakistan exposed itself when it attempted to remove references to TRF from the UNSC press statement.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"Pakistan's pressure to remove references to TRF in the April 25 UN Security Council Press Statement is notable in this regard."</p>
<p>"Investigations into the Pahalgam terror attack have brought out the communication notes of terrorists in and to Pakistan. The claims made by the Resistance Front and their reposting by known social media handles of the Lashkar-e-Taiba speak for themselves. Identification of the attackers based on eyewitness accounts, as well as other information available to law enforcement agencies, has also progressed. Our intelligence has developed an accurate picture of the planners and backers of this team.The features of this attack also tie in with Pakistan's long track record of perpetrating cross-border terror in India, which is well documented, and beyond question," Misri stated in his statement after Operation Sindoor.</p>

<p>India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri revealed the objective of the Pahalgam terror attack in the press briefing held on Wednesday (May 7) and said that it was done to undermine the normalcy returning to Jammu and Kashmir. He added that it was done to impact economy and tourism in teh Kashmir valley, stating that a record 23 million tourists visited J&amp;K in 2024.</p>
<p>"The attack was clearly driven by the objective of undermining the normalcy returning to Jammu and Kashmir. In particular, it was designed to impact the mainstay of the economy, tourism, with a record 23 million tourists visiting the valley last year. The calculation, presumably, was that harming growth and development in the Union Territory would help keep it backwards and create fertile ground for continued cross-border terrorism from Pakistan. The manner of the attack was also driven by the objective of provoking communal discord, both in Jammu and Kashmir and the rest of the Nation. It is to the credit of the government and the people of India that these designs were foiled," Misri said in the briefing.</p>
