Solution
The correct option is A Lord Dufferin
Lord Dufferin invited the congress delegates to a garden party at Calcutta(now Kolkata).
As the Congress began to ask for more and more reforms, the attitude of Government became hostile and Congress was branded a seditious organisation. Lord Dufferin expressed his disapproval of the educated community. He referred to it as a microscopic minority, which had no right to represent India. Gradually, the officials kept away from the meeting.
