Rahul Gandhi, on Saturday, unveiled the Satyagraha digital platform amid the 157th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, urging citizens to register their grievances and promise the Congress would listen to each story.
The launch followed a surge of protests across India—land rights, farmers, women, Dalit, OBC, and education—each struggling in isolation. Gandhi said truth was being suppressed and that the opposition would stand with those fighting injustice.
Within nine hours, more than 10,000 people and groups had signed up, covering corruption, environmental rights, and health. The platform will map these movements and the party will review each submission, pledging to mobilise support where needed.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh added that the platform aims to unify resistance and criticised a police crackdown on protesters earlier that week. He warned that the initiative would run for years, amplifying citizen voices.
The next step is an internal review: each case will be contacted, and Congress will seek to intervene in Parliament, on the streets, or through written appeals.
