Detailed Solution

Both the Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion. The above information was related to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. On April 13, 1919, a crowd gathered in the walled Jallianwala Bagh area. Some showed up to protest the increasingly harsh policies of the Rowlatt Act. Others had arrived to celebrate Baisakhi. They were not aware that martial law was imposed. When Dyer arrived, he blocked the exits and started shooting into the crowd, killing hundreds. He later stated that his goal was to "produce a moral effect" in the minds of the satyagrahis.
