രാജ്യത്തെ പ്രതിഷേധങ്ങളെ ഒറ്റ ഭൂപടത്തിൽ കൊണ്ടുവരാൻ 'സത്യാഗ്രഹ' ഡിജിറ്റൽ പ്ലാറ്റ്ഫോമുമായി രാഹുൽ ഗാന്ധി

He urged people to register their protests against government on 'Satyagraha' platform, launched a day after Mahatma Gandhi's 157th birth anniversary, to help people 'wherever truth was being crushed'

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday launched the 'Satyagraha' digital platform to bring together issue-based protests across the country, saying it would help people where "truth was being crushed".

Rahul urged people to register their protests on the platform, launched a day after the 157th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, and said it was his responsibility to ensure that truth was not suppressed.

"Across the country, people are fighting for their rights -- and too often, fighting alone. Gen Z, students, farmers, Adivasis, Dalits, women -- every struggle has its own story. But a lone voice is often easier to silence.

"'Satyagraha' is an initiative to bring these voices together on one map," he said in a post on X.

Invoking Mahatma Gandhi, the Congress MP said, "Bapu taught us that truth is our greatest weapon. But an even greater weapon is standing together with the truth. If you too are fighting against any injustice, share your story. It will take just two minutes."

Rahul said protests submitted to the platform would find a place on the Satyagraha map, adding "you will see who else, like you, is fighting their own battle".

"And I will do whatever I can - in Parliament, on the streets, through letters, wherever I am needed - to stand with you. As the Leader of the Opposition, that is my responsibility. Tell me the story of your Satyagraha...," he said.

In a video posted along with the announcement, the Raebareli MP said, "As you all know, truth is being suppressed all across the country, and there are multiple protests happening across the country."

Rahul said protests related to land, women's rights, Dalit rights, OBC rights, education and exams were taking place across the country.

"And we want to help organise these protests, put them together on one map, and work together with you to see if we can help you resolve what you're fighting for. Take a look at the Satyagraha website. Fill out the form. Enroll your movement on the website, and we will try to see how we can support you. We'll be in touch."

"As the leader of the opposition, it's important for me to help people resist where truth is being crushed. The truth is important. It's important at the highest levels, but it's important that we fight for it in every corner of the country," Rahul said in his video message.
