Mahatma Gandhi call off Rowlett satyagraha due to violent nature of the protest
- Rowlett Act was passed on 18th March 1919.
- This Act gave the government the power to imprison any suspect for a maximum of 2 years without trial.
- They provided restrictions on the press and arrested the people without a warrant.
- Against this, Gandhi made a nationwide hartal against such oppressions from the Britishers.
- During this period on 13th April 1919, General Dyer opened fire on the peaceful gathering of the crowd in an enclosed ground of Jalianwala Bagh.
- Such a brutal massacre resulted in the loss of momentum of nationwide protest and eventually, Rowlett was called off.
