In the summer of 1905 he visited England as a delegate of the Indian National Congress along with Gokhale. On his return to India he attended the annual COngress session at Banaras in December 1905 and played an important part in the efforts to avert a clash between the Moderates and Extremists. Though engrossed in nationalist politics, Lajpat Rai continued during this period to work for the Arya Samaj and the D.A.V. College and to participate in relief work when there was a famine or a natural disaster, such as an earthquake.
