Observer Online Report

Water Resources Minister Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Annie has said that the 'Yes' vote in the referendum has prevailed and will automatically come into effect.

''The bill will naturally be raised in Parliament. There is no need for any oath for the 'Yes.' It will be automatically effective. That is the July Charter.''

The minister made the remarks on Saturday morning while speaking to journalists after paying tribute to the language martyrs at the Central Shaheed Minar in Laxmipur.

Addressing the issue of mob culture, Annie said those engaging in mob activities should step back, warning that such actions create disorder.

''Mob culture could hinder the building of Bangladesh. Therefore, everyone must return from mob culture and work from a responsible position.''
