Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The Rowlatt Satyagraha was organised in 1919 by Mahatma Gandhi against the Rowlatt Act. Because the act provided enormous power to the governor to repress the political activist, who was considered a threat to the government. In addition, the act also propounded the arrest of anyone for two years without any trial. This revealed the oppressive face of the British government. So, Gandhiji launched a nationwide satyagraha on April 6, 1919. As a result, many rallies, protests, and processions in different parts of India opposed the oppressive act.
