I have always advocated for providing as many platforms as possible for the youth and for our Indian citizens to express their views,&#8221; Paswan said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>&#8220;It was with that very mindset that Rahul Gandhi initiated the Satyagraha,&#8221; he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>He, however, also targeted the opposition and accused it of spreading lies and raising issues only to abandon them halfway.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>&#8220;The name is well-chosen, but the opposition has developed a habit of repeatedly spreading lies and confusion. Raising issues only to abandon them halfway, spreading confusion among the public about everything from EVMs to the SIR,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>&#8220;The reality is that the people are rejecting you; you won&#8217;t grasp this through Satyagraha, but rather through introspection,&#8221; he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>This comes a day after Rahul launched the &#8220;Satyagraha&#8221; website and said that protesters can submit details about their causes, find similar movements across the country through an interactive map and seek direct support.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>\u201cPeople across the country are fighting for their rights and often fighting alone. Gen Z, students, farmers, tribals, Dalits, women &#8211; every struggle has its own story. But the voice that rises alone often gets suppressed. \u2018Satyagraha\u2019 is an initiative to bring these voices together on a map. Bapu taught us this; truth is the greatest weapon. But an even greater weapon is standing together with truth in unity. If you\u2019re also fighting against any injustice, share your story.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> It will take two minutes,\u201d the Congress leader said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>\u201cYour story will appear on the map.
