The rowlatt act had been hurriedly passed through the Imperial Legislative Council despite the united opposition of the indian member . It gave the government (british) enormous powers to repress political activities, and allowed detention of political prisoners without trial for two years ... This was the reason the indian members hated it ...or opposed it

Heyya !
Rowlatt Act of 1919 named after British judge Sir Sidney Rowlatt effectively authorized the government to imprison for a maximum period of two years, without trial, any person suspected of terrorism living in the Raj. The Rowlatt Act gave British imperial authorities power to deal with revolutionary activities. But in this course of action even the innocent people were targeted and had no scope of " vakil, appeal or dalil". By this act, the British severely clamped the rights of Indians. Hence, they opposed this Act.
Hope it helps ! : )
