Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The colonial government tried to repress the civil disobedience movement. The government began arresting Congress leaders one by one. When the Congress leaders were arrested, violent clashes broke out. Example: When Abdul Ghaffar Khan, a devout Gandhian, was arrested in April 1930, angry mobs protested in Peshawar, facing armoured vehicles and police fire, killing many people. When the British government arrested Mahatma Gandhi, industrial workers in Solapur attacked police stations, city buildings, courts, and train stations—all structures symbolising the rule of an older brother. The colonial government continued to respond with a policy of repression by attacking peaceful satyagrahis.
