💡 Solution & Explanation
The Public Safety Bill was introduced by the British colonial government in 1928 to empower authorities to deport foreign communists and suppress growing radical labor movements across India. While the bill targeted revolutionaries, it faced fierce opposition in the Central Legislative Assembly where Vithalbhai Patel gave a ruling against it. Modern Indian history questions frequently test the legislative battles and socialist movements of the late 1920s.
