In 2002, a woman called New York police to an apartment complaining that she was being assaulted. Police said the 35-year-old woman, Marijana Mihic, who described herself as Akram’s “girlfriend,” had bruises to her head and abra- sions to her knees. The Manhattan prosecutor’s of- fice said at that time that it would prosecute him if his diplomatic immunity was lifted. The US did not press its request to Islamabad to waive his immunity.

School Board To Challenge Quebec ‘Secularism’ Law

MONTREAL: The English Montreal School Board will be the latest group to attempt a legal challenge of the application of Quebec’s religious symbols leg- islation. The board’s commissioners have voted to hire a law firm to determine the “appropriate legal recourse’’ against the provincial government over the validity of the law known as Bill 21. “There has already been an effect on being able to hire according to religious symbols,’’ board chair- woman Angela Mancini said Thursday. Mancini said at least four prospective teachers withdrew their applications after going through the interview process and being told they had to remove their symbols. The cases involved mainly young educators who wore hijabs, Mancini said. The province’s largest French-language school board, the Commission sco- laire de Montreal, has said it has dealt with five teach- ers affected by the law this year, four of whom agreed to remove their symbols while one did not. Despite the planned legal action, the board will continue to apply the law, as all other school boards across the province have done. Bill 21 came into ef- fect in June. It prohibits public servants deemed to be in positions of authority _ including teachers, judges and police officers _ from wearing religious symbols, such as turbans, kippas and hijabs. There is a grandfather clause exempting those who were employed before the bill was tabled in the spring as long as they stay in their current jobs. The board will look at a challenge hinged on Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees minority language educational rights to English-speaking minorities in Quebec. The board noted several high court decisions have upheld the section to include the right to man- age their public school systems. The National Council of Canadian Muslims and the Canadian Civil Liberties Union are appealing a Quebec Superior Court decision that rejected a re- quest for a stay of certain provisions of Quebec’s secularism law. www.WeeklyVoice.com opinion Friday, October 4, 2019 | A-9 A column on current affairs - relating to India and/or Canada and Strategic Eye looking at ways to promote Indo-Canadian relations in many spheres.

Remember that spare tires are only recommended for emergency situations and should not be driven on for long distanc- es or at high speeds. While tire blowouts are not 100 per cent avoidable, taking proactive steps to ensure your tires are well maintained can help decrease the chances of damage. Nokian Tyres’ experts recom- mend taking precautions such as: • Check tire pressure at least once a month. • Avoid driving on underin- flated or overinflated tires. • Avoid overloading a vehicle. • Avoid driving over potholes and curbs. • Drive at moderate speeds.
