The emergence of claims by the Muchdi Pr camp was followed up by a DPP plenary meeting chaired directly by Tommy Soeharto. Priyo emphasized that the Munaslub which decided Muchdi Pr to become a chairman of Berkarya was illegitimate.

"So if it is true that the Decree of the Menkumham, it will be odd and makes no sense.

We support it in our way, "he said.
