(Tempo) Minister Tedjo on Golkar Row: Dont Stir Things Up

12/12/2018



Tedjo Edhy Purdijatno, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, has dismissed claims that the government was interfering with the internal conflicts among political elites in the Golkar Party.

"That's not right. The Golkar Party is a national asset. Why would we design conflicts?" he said on Tuesday, December 9, 2014. 

Tedjo made the statement in response to an earlier comment by Great Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) Party politician Desmond J. Mahesa, who suspected the government help design the strife in the party. 

Tedjo regretted there had been those who stirred up the conflicts in the Golkar Party. "The Golkar Party is the one having the conflicts, so why did Gerindra made comments? Don't stir things up, otherwise the problems would not be resolved," he said. 

Tedjo said he was sure that the party's elites would see eye to eye soon. "Our priority is to await a reconciliation. Both camps have sent similar letters to the Legal and Human Rights Ministry. Who will get the approval? Let's wait for a reconciliation," he said.
