Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
To suppress the people who were critical of the government, the Vernacular Press Act was passed. Lord Lytton established the Vernacular Press Act in 1878. The ordinance aimed to regulate the vernacular press and suppress and penalise "seditious stories." According to the Vernacular Press Act, the British government was able to seize newspaper assets, such as the printing press and other media. A key element of this act was the district magistrate's authority to oversee newspaper production and publication before it entered government offices.
