He joined Gandhi's movement for Indian Independence. For his activities against the British Regime, the British Rulers of India put him into prison in February, 1941 and released him after five years.

In 1957 Dr. Regmi took part in Satyagraha (civil disobedience movement) insisting on a fixed date to hold democratic elections in Nepal. He was not in favour of partyless Panchayat System in Nepal and openly launched a campaign for multiparty democracy during the referendum of 1979 (2036 B.S.). He inspired and cooperated with the pro-democratic forces of Nepal during the people's movement in 1990 (2046 B.S.).

He was Chairman of Nepal World Peace Council and Nepal Afro-Asian Solidarity Committee and founder President of Society for the Promotion of International Peace and understanding, Gandhi International Peace Centre and Gautam Buddha Foundation.
