JAKARTA, iNews.id – Coordinating Minister of Law and Security (Menkopolhukam) Mahfud MD said that the government could not prohibit the implementation of the Extraordinary Congress of the Democratic Party (KLB) in Sibolangit, Deliserdang, on Friday (3/5/2021). This has also been done during the reign of President Megawati Soekarno Putri and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

Through his twitter account @mohmahfudmd, Mahfud MD said that according to Law Number 9 of 1998 on the Freedom to Express Opinions in Public, everyone has the right to express their opinion.

“According to Law 9/98, the government cannot prohibit or encourage activities on behalf of the Democratic Party cadres in Deliserdang,” Mahfud said.

Mahfud said the same conditions had happened during the previous two administrations. In the Megawati Soekarno Putri administration, Matori ABudl Djalil attempted to wrest the leadership of the PKB from Gus Dur. The incident between Matori and Gus Dur occurred in 2003, which Matori ultimately lost in court.

“The same was the attitude of the Bu Megawati Soekarnoputri government when Matori Abdul Djali took the PKB from Gus Dur which Matori later lost in court,” he said.
