Answer:
According to the Rowlatt Act:
(i) The Government could use the extraordinary repressive powers it had during the war.
(ii) The British Government could arrest any person without assigning any reason for the arrest, search any place without a warrant and imprison anyone without trial.
The Indians opposed the Rowlatt Act like wild fire. An All-India hartal was observed on 8th April, 1919. Meetings were held all over the country to show people’s resentment to the inhuman repressive measures. The Indian press also gave full support to the mass agitation.
