The Resistance Front or TRF is a separatist militant organization involved in the ongoing insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir. The organization has positioned itself as a secular organization fighting against the Indian government for Kashmiri freedom, in contrast to past Kashmiri insurgents which have been Islamist.[16][17] The Indian government has accused the TRF of being an offshoot of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, a claim that TRF has denied.[17] TRF operates primarily in the Kashmir region, with a main base in Srinagar.[18]

The Resistance Front was founded by Sheikh Sajjad Gul, a native of Srinagar, and Muhammad Abbas Sheikh, a native of Kulgam, after India revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir in 2019.[19][20] The TRF has mainly targeted Indian security forces and pro-Indian politicians in Kashmir, and has been accused of other attacks against Hindutva activitsts and Hindu civilians by the Indian government.[21][22]
