The quote condemning the Public Safety Bill, 1928 as ‘a direct attack on Indian nationalism, on the Indian National Congress’ and ‘the Slavery of India, Bill No. 1’ was made by Diwan Chaman Lal during the legislative debates on the bill. The Public Safety Bill of 1928 aimed to deport foreign communists and curtail civil liberties, sparking strong opposition from Indian nationalist leaders and labour activists. Diwan Chaman Lal, a prominent labour leader and legislator, was a vocal critic of the bill, using this strong language to highlight its repressive nature and perceived threat to the national movement and workers’ rights.

The Public Safety Bill, 1928, along with the Trade Disputes Bill, were controversial pieces of legislation aimed at suppressing nationalist and labour movements in British India. They were met with widespread opposition in the legislative assembly and outside.

The bombing of the Central Legislative Assembly by Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt on April 8, 1929, was done in protest against the passage of the Public Safety Bill and the Trade Disputes Bill, among other repressive measures. They threw bombs not to kill, but “to make the deaf hear.”
