Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
In 1919, Gandhiji started a statewide satyagraha in opposition to the Rowlatt Act (1919). The Act granted the government broad authority to suppress political activity and permitted the two-year detention of political prisoners without charge. Mahatma Gandhi called for nonviolent civil disobedience beginning on April 6 with a hartal. As word of Jallianwalla Bagh spread, there were riots, police encounters, and assaults on government structures. The government retaliated by flogging people and bombing villages. Satyagrahis had to rub their noses on the ground, crawl through the streets, and salute all sahibs.
The correct statement is: Seeing violence spread after the Jallianwala Bagh incident, Mahatma Gandhi called off the Rowlatt Satyagraha.
