A 24-hour marathon discussion was held in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly on the 'Vision Document 2047'. During this, Samajwadi Party MLA Pooja Pal spoke highly of CM Yogi Adityanath, expressing gratitude for the justice she received. She said, 'I lost my husband, everyone knows how and who killed him. I am grateful to the Chief Minister who heard me out when no one else did.'
Pooja Pal further stated that the Chief Minister delivered justice to many women like her in Prayagraj and punished criminals swiftly. She applauded the zero-tolerance policies that led to the downfall of criminals such as Atiq Ahmed. Today, the entire state looks to the Chief Minister with trust... 'The Chief Minister has ended the menace of Atiq Ahmed, my husband's murderer'... I support his zero-tolerance policy wholeheartedly.

According to the SP MLA, 'I spoke up when I saw nobody wanted to challenge criminals like Atiq Ahmed... When I started to falter, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath provided me justice...'
It is noteworthy that when Pooja Pal spoke, there was much uproar from Samajwadi Party members in the house. However, despite being an SP MLA, she stood firmly with the Yogi government.
For clarity, Pooja Pal’s husband,
Raju Pal
, was murdered by Atiq Ahmed's henchmen only nine days after their marriage. The assassination was politically motivated, stemming from Raju’s victory over Atiq’s brother Ashraf in the 2004 elections.
