Answer:

B. Curtail the National and Revolutionary Activities

Read Explanation:

  • During the viceroyalty of Lord Chelmsford, a committee was appointed by the Government in 1917 with Justice Rowlatt, which made certain recommendations to curb sedition activity in India.

  • The Rowlatt Act, 1919, gave unbridled powers to the Government to arrest and imprison suspects without trial.

  • The Act caused a wave of anger among all sections of the society.

  • A well-known description of the bill at that time was: 'No Daleel, No Vakil, No appeal' which means 'No plea, No lawyer, No appeal'.
