Detailed Solution

The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
The strengthening of democracy has undoubtedly been aided by pressure organisations and campaigns. These organisations have assisted the public in forcing the governments to take note of widespread requests. In a democracy, exerting pressure on the authorities is healthy so long as everyone has the chance to do so. This is beneficial to democracy. A small but influential group of people frequently exerts undue pressure on the government to adopt measures that are unfavourable to the general populace. Public interest organisations and movements play a valuable role in opposing this improper influence and serving as a reminder to the government of the wants and needs of regular people. Pressure groups and movements aid in minimising such careless government work.
