JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Politicians Democratic party Rachland Nashidik criticized President Joko Widodo’s attitude of not replying to the letter from the General Chairman of the Democrat Party Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY).

“Pak Jokowi wants to wash his hands? If so, he shouldn’t,” said Rachland when contacted Kompas.com, Friday (5/2/2021).

“The president should give a strong message that the practice of forcibly taking over political parties is wrong and bad,” he stressed.

He also reminded that the practice of forced takeovers not only happened to Democrats, but also happened to PDI-P, the party from Jokowi, some time ago.

Only, he hopes the President can be kept away from doubts and confusion in politics.

“On the other hand, a strong and dignified decision must be chosen. Not only to protect democracy. But also to honor Palace, “added Rachland.

The letter was related to the issue of taking over AHY’s leadership, which allegedly involved important officials in the President’s close circle and dragged the name of the Presidential Chief of Staff (KSP) Moeldoko.

“So we have received the letter, and we don’t think we need to answer the letter,” said Pratikno, via the Presidential Secretariat YouTube broadcast, Thursday (4/2/2021).

Pratikno said his party would not answer AHY’s letter because it contained the internal dynamics of the Democratic Party.

“Because it is a matter of internal party dynamics, it is about the internal house date of the Democratic Party, all of which have been regulated in the AD / ART (Articles of Association and Bylaws),” he said.
