Which one of the following about the Swadeshi Campaign in 1896 is not correct ?

The Swadeshi Campaign of 1896 was a precursor to the later 1905 movement, primarily centered in Maharashtra under the leadership of Bal Gangadhar Tilak . During this period, students in Poona and other towns played a pivotal role as main participants, organizing the public burning of foreign clothes to promote indigenous industries [2]. The campaign was fundamentally an economic protest against the British government's decision to impose excise duties on Indian mill-made cloth while removing or reducing import duties on British textiles. Therefore, the movement actually demanded the imposition of protective tariffs on imports to safeguard Indian industries from unfair competition . The statement that it opposed the levy of tariffs on imports is incorrect, as the nationalists actively sought tariff protection to stop the 'drain of wealth' and foster domestic industrial growth .
