India, Aug. 14 -- Samajwadi Party (SP) on Thursday expelled its MLA Pooja Pal for anti-party activities and indiscipline, an action that comes after she thanked Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath for zero-tolerance policy against crime that improved law and order in the state.

The SP MLA had said that the UP CM gave her justice by bringing in policies like zero tolerance that led to the killing of criminals like Atiq Ahmed.
