Solution(By Examveda Team)

For Gandhi, satyagraha went far beyond mere "passive resistance" and became strength in practising non-violent methods. In his words: Truth (satya) implies love, and firmness (agraha) engenders and therefore serves as a synonym for force. Abstinence was not one of the cardinal principles of Mahatma Gandhi doctrine of Satyahraha.
