उत्तर
He wanted it to act like a safety-valve for popular discontent.
Explanation:
Lord Dufferin, the Viceroy, supported the formation of the Indian National Congress because he saw it as a “safety‑valve”, a moderate, constitutional forum where Indian grievances could be aired and channelled into petitions and discussion rather than into unrest, thus helping to safeguard British rule and interests in India.
