	By December 1924, political unrest in urban Bengal reached a climax on the issue of the boycott of the visit of the Prince of Wales to India.

Sasmal along with CR Das, [[Azad, Maulana Abul Kalam\|abul kalam azad]], [[Bose, Subhas Chandra\|subhas chandra bose]] and others were arrested on 10 December on the charge of organising the boycott. He was sentenced to six months simple imprisonment.

	On his release from jail, Sasmal assisted CR Das in organising the Bengal Provincial Swarajya Party and subsequently became its Secretary. He was also elected the whip of the party in the Legislative Council. He aspired to be the Chief Executive of the Calcutta Corporation. But Das feared to offer the post to Sasmal because he assumed that the choice would offend the Kayastha clique of Calcutta. So Subhas Bose became the Chief Executive Officer on the blessings of CR Das. Humiliated Sasmal got angry, left the Bengal Provincial Congress Committee and went back to his legal practice and his control of local politics in Midnapur. But he was again elected to the Bengal Legislative Council as an independent candidate and this shows the high esteem in which his countrymen held him.

	Sasmal was elected President of the Krishnanagar session of the BPCC in 1928. But his remarks about terrorism and violence in the Presidential Address led to the passing of a motion of no-confidence against him. With the censuring of Sasmal from the Presidentship of the BPCC the fate of [[Bengal Pact\|bengal pact]] was sealed. An anti-Muslim group gained the dominant voice in the BPCC and in protest Sasmal, his friends and the Muslim members resigned. The consequence was disastrous. Veteran nationalist Muslim leaders went out of the Congress.		Sasmal was elected President of the Krishnanagar session of the BPCC in 1928.

	During the [[Civil Disobedience Movement\|civil disobedience movement]] of 1930, while serving as a member of the non-official committee appointed to enquire into the atrocities perpetrated by the Midnapur district administration, he courted arrest. On his release he rushed to Chittagong to defend the accused in the Armoury Raid Case (1930) without charging any fees and this reveals his commitment for his co-patriots. Again in 1932 he acted as a defence lawyer in the Douglas shooting case. He joined the Calcutta Conference held under the auspices of the Congress Nationalist party to oppose Ramsay MacDonald's 'Communal Award'. He passed away on 24 November 1934.
