Lal criticised the Bill, calling it an "inadequate bill that fails to ban the practice or compensate the victims." Lal argued that the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Bill would not allow the police to prosecute offenders and allow conversion therapy to continue. In July, the Minister of Justice, Kris Faafoi, introduced the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Bill. Lal worked with the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand to deliver a petition of over more than 150,000 signatures to ban conversion therapy. During the 2020 New Zealand general election, Lal and CTAG pressured the New Zealand Labour Party to commit to banning conversion therapy in New Zealand. Lal founded the Conversion Therapy Action Group in 2019 to work towards ending conversion therapy in New Zealand. David Farrier defended Lal in his blog Webworm, and the subsequent media attention led to Eller's opinion column being cancelled. In an interview with Breakfast in 2020, Lal labelled conversion therapy "state sanctioned torture." Lal told interviewer Jenny-May Clarkson that numerous queer people pray to God to "heal them, or kill them." Following this interview, Massey University lecturer Steve Elers wrote an opinion piece for the Manawatu Guardian, and republished by The New Zealand Herald, dismissing the issue of conversion therapy and using transphobic language to discuss Lal's pronouns. Following this, Lal was targeted online with homophobic abuse. Lal's speech at the 2019 Youth Parliament to ban conversion therapy received a standing ovation.

While living in Fiji, Lal was put into conversion therapy to rid them of their queerness. Lal considers that a defining moment of their life, being the moment they decided that they were going to end conversion therapy in New Zealand.

When Lal refused, the church leader wished hell upon them. In the summer of 2017, Lal was volunteering at the Middlemore Hospital when a church leader walked up to them and offered to pray their gay away. Lal subscribes to indigenous spirituality. After attending a Christian primary and high school in Fiji, Lal grew out of religion. Lal was born into a Hindu family and raised in a Hindu and Muslim community. Lal is transgender non-binary, vakasalewalewa and hijra, and uses they/them pronouns. Lal joined Otahuhu College and was named dux in 2018. In 2014, Lal moved to New Zealand in the search of a safer home.

Lal claims that colonisation stripped Fijians of their rich queer identities and conditioned them with homophobia, transphobia and queerphobia. Lal argues that prior to colonisation, vakasalewalewa were integral to native Fijian society. Lal experienced conversion therapy as a challenge to their indigeneity and their relationship with their ancestors.
