The above statement is true.
General Dyer fired on innocent people to create terror in the mind of Satyagrahis.
After the violent clash between the police and Satyagrahis in Amritsar andit's after effects, the colonial government imposed Martial Law in Amritsar, and General Dyer took command.
On April 13, a large crowd gathered in the Jallianwalla Bagh. Some voiced against the government, while others celebrated Baisakhi. Since they were from outside the city, many were unaware that martial law had been imposed. Hundreds of people were killed when Dyer stormed the area, shut the exits, and began firing at the people. His goal, as he later stated, was to "generate a moral effect" to instil fear and awe in the minds of satyagrahis.
