Answer:

The petition, printed in the Times of India (ToI) on July 20, 1920, is startling. It calls on the British prime minister: “To exert your influence to the end that General Dyer shall be exonerated from all blame and shall suffer no loss pecuniarily or in military rank.”

This was more than a year after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of April 13, 1919. In the immediate aftermath, Dyer had many defenders. British Indian officials felt obliged to support him as a matter of policy and few wanted to criticise an army officer.
