The Samajwadi Party on Thursday expelled party MLA Pooja Pal for anti-party activities and indiscipline, a day after she praised Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for delivering justice to women after the death of gangster-cum-politician Atiq Ahmed.<\/p>\n

Notably, Atiq Ahmed was an accused in the 2005 murder case of her husband and former BSP legislator Raju Pal. Pooja Pal had thanked CM Yogi for delivering justice to women under the government\u2019s anti-crime policies.<\/p>\n

In a letter, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav accused Pooja Pal of anti-party activities, which harmed the party. \u201cThe action taken by you is against the party and a serious breach of discipline. Hence, you are being expelled from the Samajwadi Party with immediate effect. Additionally, you will be removed from the party\u2019s other posts and you will not take party in any event\/meetings of the party, nor you will be invited,” he added.<\/p>\n

In 2005, BSP MLA Raju Pal was shot dead in Prayagraj, shortly after his marriage to Pooja Pal. In February 2023, Umesh Pal, a crucial witness to the murder, was killed in Prayagraj\u2019s Sulem Saray area. Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf Ahmad were the main suspects and were arrested by the police.<\/p>\n

Atiq Ahmed and his brother were shot dead in the midst of police security, while being taken for a medical check-up in April 2023.<\/p>\n

While addressing the 24-hour marathon discussion on \u2018Vision Document 2047\u2019 in the UP Assembly on Wednesday, Pooja Pal thanked Yogi Adityanath<\/a> for eliminating Atiq Ahmad and lauded his zero-tolerance policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows who murdered my husband (Raju Pal). I want to thank the Chief Minister for bringing me justice and hearing me when nobody else did. The CM gave justice to many other women like me in Prayagraj by bringing in policies like zero tolerance that led to the killing of criminals like Atiq Ahmed. Today, the entire state looks at the CM with trust,” she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMere pati ke hatyare Atiq Ahmed ko Mukhya Mantri ne mitti mein milaane ka kaam kiya<\/em>\u2019 (The Chief Minister has buried my husband\u2019s murderer Atiq Ahmed. I raised my voice when I saw that no one wanted to fight against criminals like Atiq Ahmed. When I started getting exhausted with this fight, CM Yogi Adityanath gave me justice.”<\/p>\n

Atiq Ahmed was a dominant figure in Uttar Pradesh politics, who had over 100 criminal cases against him, including murder, kidnapping, and extortion, over a career spanning four decades. He was also a five-time MLA and former Lok Sabha MP from the Samajwadi Party.<\/p>\n
