Liberal campaign volunteer wearing hijab says she was harassed and followed, Toronto police investigate
Social Sharing Toronto police are investigating after a Liberal campaign volunteer said she was harassed for wearing a hijab while door knocking and then followed down a street while walking away with other volunteers. The young woman was subjected to racial slurs and aggressive questions, and criticized by a resident for wearing a hijab on Wednesday in her first day as a volunteer, said Salma Zahid, Liberal candidate for Scarborough Centre-Don Valley East. Zahid said a male campaign volunteer who was next door intervened because he felt the woman might be attacked by the resident. A couple of other volunteers were also door knocking, and Zahid said the resident then followed the group for a few minutes. "It is really unfortunate and disturbing to see incidents like this," Zahid said in an interview with CBC Toronto on Friday. "Let's respect each other's views. It's OK to disagree, but incidents like this will only weaken our democratic process." In a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday, Zahid said the volunteer was "very shaken" by the incident. Zahid said the volunteer has told her she will not go door knocking again. "I want to be clear that this sort of incident has no place in our community. We are a welcoming and diverse community where people from around the world have chosen to call home," Zahid said in the post. "Furthermore, as a woman who also wears the hijab, and was subjected to racist comments when I made this decision, I stand to be clear that no one — no government, no employer, no neighbour — has the right to tell a woman what she can and cannot choose to wear." Const. Cindy Chung, spokesperson for the Toronto Police Service, said a report about the incident was filed and the investigation is continuing. Chung provided no other details. On its website, the federal government says Islamophobia "includes racism, stereotypes, prejudice, fear or acts of hostility directed towards individual Muslims or followers of Islam in general." 'It's absolutely unacceptable,' advocacy group says Reem Sheet, spokesperson for the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), an advocacy and lobby organization, said on Friday the council has been hearing reports of hate on the campaign trail across the country against various political parties. Sheet said the council is concerned such incidents will discourage people from getting involved. "I mean, unfortunately, it really is everywhere and it's absolutely unacceptable," Sheet said. "It's so unfortunate that these volunteers are taking time out of their day to be a part of this election, and the reception they have been getting is just negative and sometimes even violent."

PHOTO: PID A Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) cell has been established in K-P's Planning and Development Department with a view to effectively coordinate on business-related activities in the province. This was briefed during a weekly review meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Shahab Ali Shah on Monday to assess progress of the tasks assigned to various departments in an effort to enhance governance. The SIFC cell would work in the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Unit of the department. The meeting also discussed beautification of Peshawar. It was informed that feasibility study in this regard would be completed within three months. The meeting was attended by Additional Chief Secretary (Home), relevant secretaries, and officials, said a press statement issued. Updates on the PPP-mode projects in 11 sectors were also presented during the meeting. The Performance Management and Reforms Unit (PMRU) was directed to generate tasks and ensure effective tracking. A weekly update on the tasks will be presented to the chief secretary to monitor progress. During the meeting, officials informed the meeting that the Tracking Sheet System in the Planning and Development Department has been revived to monitor the progress of development projects, ensuring their timely and efficient completion. The chief secretary emphasized strict adherence to timelines for all public interest tasks and directed expedited approval of the remaining development schemes. A briefing was also presented on strengthening and restructuring the Performance Management and Reforms Unit. Additionally, an update on the Paperless Government System was shared, with MD K-P ITB outlining its implementation plan. The chief secretary instructed all departments to be fully prepared for system operationalisation by April 30, aiming to enhance e-governance, improve administrative efficiency, and ensure transparency in government operations. Furthermore, the meeting was informed that the E-Pak Acquisition and Disposal System (E-PADS) has been launched in eight provincial departments, including Public Health Engineering, Irrigation, Communications and Works, Local Government, Health, Science and Technology, K-P IT Board, and K-P EZDMC. A province-wide rollout is planned in the next phase, with all provincial departments mandated to conduct procurement through E-PADS from July 1, minimizing human intervention and reducing errors. Updates on the Peshawar Development Authority (PDA) initiatives were also reviewed, including progress on the Northern Section of the Ring Road, completion of the New General Bus Terminal, and bottleneck clearance at Abdara and Tehkal Bala BRT Stations, which is 60 per cent complete.
