This view criticized Dyer’s act as inhuman and also said that there was no justification in the introduction of the martial law in Punjab. But the Hunter Report, as expected, saw the things differently. Although it condemned most of the decisions taken by General Dyer, it agreed with the imposition of the martial law in Punjab. It also criticized the method of Satyagraha adopted by Gandhi and held Gandhi partially responsible for “deteriorated” law and order situation. As a result, Dyer was sent to England relieved of his command. The British Government called General Dyer ‘Lion of British Empire’ and gave ‘Sword of Honour’ for his service.
