Answer:
(i)
In some instances, the pressure groups are either formed or led by the leaders
of political parties or act as extended arms of political parties.
For example, most trade unions and students' organisations in India are either
established by, or affiliated to one or the other major political party.
(ii) Sometimes, political parties grow out of movements. For example,
when the Assam movement led by students against the 'foreigners' came to an end,
it led to the formation of the Asom Gana Parishad.
(iii) In most cases, the relationship
between parties and interest or movement groups is not so direct. They often
take positions that are opposed to each other. Yet they are in dialogue and
negotiations. Most of the new leadership of political parties come from
interest or movement groups.
