Detailed Solution

Pressure groups are organised expressions of the interests and views of specific social sections, and Pressure groups take positions on political issues. Groups of people with a common cause or interest are called pressure groups. These are formally organised organisations to influence government policy. They do not run for office, but they use legal and legitimate tactics to influence the government, such as lobbying, correspondence, publicity, propagandising, petitions, public debate, and maintaining in touch with officials. Almost invariably, pressure groups are more politically involved than interest groups. Again, the difference between pressure groups and social movements is that social movements are more prevalent.
