The Mail on Sunday updated a sensationalist article that claimed Mr Arif Qawi, Chair of Governors at St Stephens school in Newham, resigned “because staff were frightened to come into school” due to the uproar following their hijab ban. After Assistant Secretary General of the MCB, Miqdaad Versi complained to the paper, they have now updated their article following revelations of an email exchange Mr Qawi had wherein he had written “crucify the unholy b*stard”, referring the local Imam. This appears to be the real reason for his resignation according to headteacher, Ms Neena Lall.
