Detailed Solution

The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
Various pressure organisations and movements have an impact on politics. To get public sympathy and support, they organise campaigns, gatherings, petitions, etc. They hope to get the government's attention by planning strikes and other disruptions by outlining their demands.
