India has reiterated its push for the designation of The Resistance Front (TRF) as a terrorist organisation at the United Nations, even as it renewed its call for sweeping reforms of global governance structures to reflect contemporary realities.Responding to queries on recent high-level engagements in New York, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed that Secretary (West) Sibi George held a series of meetings, including with UN Secretary-General António Guterres, where key issues on India’s multilateral agenda were discussed.George, who was in New York, also addressed deliberations linked to UN processes, including discussions around reforms of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), a long-standing priority for New Delhi.On India’s efforts to secure the designation of TRF — proxy of Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba — the MEA said the matter remains under active consideration within the UN system.“In regard to TRF, I can say that the monitoring team is considering this, and we continue to push hard,” Jaiswal said, underlining India’s sustained diplomatic campaign.He stressed that broad international consensus was crucial to strengthen the global fight against terrorism, adding that India is working to bring UN member states on board for a more coordinated approach.The remarks come nearly a year after the Pahalgam terror attack, after which India had intensified efforts to have TRF formally listed at the UN. An MEA delegation had also travelled to New York last year to engage with key stakeholders on the issue, but progress has remained slow amid geopolitical complexities within the Security Council.On the question of UN reforms, India struck a familiar but forceful note, asserting that global governance institutions must evolve in line with present-day geopolitical and economic realities.“Our point remains that global governance needs to be changed because they have to be anchored in contemporary realities,” Jaiswal said, advocating a broader and more democratic framework that reflects the aspirations of the Global South.India has consistently argued for expansion of the UNSC, both in permanent and non-permanent categories, maintaining that its own candidature is backed by its growing global stature and contributions to international peace and security.
