Question

why did Gandhiji call off Rowlatt satyagraha?

Answer 1

ANSWER :

⇒ The Rowlatt Act authorised the Government to arrest anyone without warrant.

⇒ It was introduced to curb the growing upsurge of the Indians.

⇒ It implied suspension of the Right to Habeas Corpus and the restriction of movement including the camera trial .

⇒ The Rowlatt Act was introduced on February , 1919 and was a sudden blow to the Indians because it removed the basic freedom and justice of the Indians

⇒ Gandhiji appealed to the Viceroy but this appeal was ignored !

⇒ Hence , Gandhiji started Satyagraha to challenge the British Government for the introduction of the Rowlatt Act.

Hope it helps !
