What was the role of the Quaid-i-Azam for enacting the Rowlatt Act?

Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah played a leading role in opposing the Rowlatt Act within the Imperial Legislative Council, vehemently arguing against its infringement on civil liberties, but his efforts, along with other Indian members, failed, leading to his resignation from the Council in protest against the government's disregard for constitutional rights and public opinion. He warned it would create widespread discontent, and after it passed, he declared he could no longer serve a government that passed such oppressive laws, viewing it as a betrayal of justice.
