Statement 3 is incorrect: Indian nationalist opinion was not represented in the imperial legislative council. Imperial Legislative Council  The Indian Councils Act of 1861 enlarged the Governor-General Council for the purpose of making laws in which capacity it was known as, the Imperial Legislative Council.  The Imperial Legislative Council possessed no real powers and should not be seen as a sort of elementary or weak parliament was merely an advisory body. It could not discuss any important measure and no fi nancial measures at all, without the previous approval of the government. It had no control over the budget.  It could not discuss the actions of the administration; the members could not even ask a question about them.  In other words, the Legislative Council had no control over the executive.  Secretary of State could disallow any of its Acts. Thus, the only function of the Legislative Council was to ditto offi cial measures and give them the appearance of having been passed by a legislative body.  The non-offi cial Indian members were added to the Council to represent Indian views.  The Indian members of the legislative Council were few in number and were not elected by the Indian people but were nominated by the Governor-General whose choice invariably fell on princes and their ministers, big zamindars, big merchants, or retired senior government offi cials.
