He was a friend of the poor. He was opposed to capitalism and economic exploitation in whatever form. He was the first President of the Indian Trade Union Congress. He led an agitation against the Colonization Bill, for which he was sentenced to transportation for six months. He had to undergo imprisonments and other hardships for his patriotism and love for freedom. He observed at an early stage of his public career that much reform of the type he wanted was not possible until the country was free from the foreign yoke.By this time the Simon Commission was appointed to explore further possibilities of political progress of India. Like all Nationalists, he was not in favour of this all-white Simon Commission and it was under his lead that a resolution advocating its boycott was passed.

The Commission arrived at Lahore on 31st October, 1928 against whom the people of Lahore demonstrated under the lead of Lalaji. The procession was declared illegal and the police resorted to lathi charge to disperse the crowd. A British officer Mr. Saunders suddenly assaulted Lalaji without any provocation. He was injured and as a consequence taken seriously ill. He breathed his last on 17th November, 1928, eighteen days after the brutal assault.
