Why the Rowlett Act was called the Black Acr by Gandhiji? |
|
Answer» The Rowlett Act authorized the government to exercise stricter control on press. The British also arrested people without warrants and sentenced them to indefinite jail sentences without trial. The accused were not allowed to know the reason for their arrest nor were they allowed to appeal or know the evidence used against them in court. Thus, this act was a complete violation of the fundamental rights and freedom of expression and speech. Gandhiji protested against this act and called it the ‘Black Act’. |
