Split in Islamic terror organization TRF over establishing Islamic rule in Kashmir

A major rift has taken place within the terror group TRF in Kashmir. Irfan Ahmed Sofi of Srinagar quits TRF saying it is working at the behest of Pak agencies. Says “we are not fighting Jihad to restore Article 370 but to fight for an Islamic rule.” TRF is a smokescreen used by the Pakistan based LeT and sometimes other Islamic supremacist outfits like Hizbul Mujahideen and Jaish-e-Mohammed.

The Resistance Force (TRF) has been involved in several attacks in the past. In one of its first attacks, a grenade attack on CRPF in the Lal Chowk area of Srinagar was executed in which two CRPF men and four civilians were injured. In April 2019 the group killed five Indian Army soldiers, including four special forces men (paras), near the Line of Control at the Keran sector in Kupwar. Also, it had killed three BJP nationalist workers in South Kashmir’s Kulgam district in September last year.

TRF is the latest face of Jihad in the valley which came into being after the Centre decided to abrogate Article 370 in 2019. The handlers based in Pakistan thereafter drew a plan to increase the terrorism-related activities as a response to August 2019 developments.

Pakistan along with several other Islamic terror outfits, India based Left-leaning journalists, politicians, think tanks and social media influencers had stood up against the Centre’s decision to abrogate Article 370. Recently, Digvijay Singh, a senior politician from the Congress party had said in a clubhouse discussion that if his party comes to power, they will reconsider the issue of Article 370, something which the frontline terrorist organizations have been demanding lately.
