Consider the following statements and choose the correct option:
a. Pressure groups influence government policies.
The correct option is D a is true but b is false
a) Pressure groups are organisations that attempt to influence government policies. These organisations are formed when people with common occupation, interest, aspirations or opinions come together in order to achieve a common objective.
b) Kittiko Hachiko Movement was a nonviolent protest in 1987 led by the people in Karnataka where they plucked the eucalyptus plants and planted saplings of plants that were useful to the people. The reason was that- The Karnataka government had set up a company named Karnataka Pulpwood. About 30,000 hectares of land was given to the company. Most of this land was used by the farmers for grazing their cattle on the field. But the company began to plant eucalyptus trees on this land which could be used for making paper pulp. This caused problems for the local farmers and they started this movement.
