New Delhi, Oct 3: Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday launched ‘Satyagraha’, a digital platform aimed at bringing together protest movements and public grievances from across India.

In a post on X, Gandhi urged citizens to share their experiences of what they describe as “injustice” through the platform. Users can submit details about their causes, locate similar movements through an interactive map and seek support for their campaigns.

Invoking Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy of satyagraha, Rahul Gandhi said people across the country were fighting for their rights and often doing so alone. He referred to movements involving Gen Z, students, farmers, tribal communities, Dalits and women, and said the initiative was intended to bring their voices together.

Gandhi said he would support such causes in Parliament, on the streets and through letters in his capacity as Leader of the Opposition.

In a video accompanying his post, Gandhi said protests were taking place across the country over issues including inflation, farmers’ concerns, students’ demands and women's safety. He invited people involved in such movements to register their struggles on the platform.

The platform allows users to provide their name, the name of their organisation or group and details of their cause. Those seeking assistance can also indicate how they would like Gandhi and his team to support their movement.

Gandhi described the initiative as an effort to consolidate information about protests and struggles across the country on a single platform, regardless of the size or nature of the movement. The platform's interactive map is intended to help people identify others involved in similar causes in different parts of India.
