Chairman of the PDIP DPP Said Abdullah confirmed that the search of the private residence of PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto in Bekasi by the KPK would not interfere with the PDIP anniversary celebration which will be held on Friday, January 10, the day after tomorrow.

Said said the 52nd Anniversary of PDIP will be held simply at the Party School, Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta. Later, he said, all DPC, DPD and DPP will listen to the speech of PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri online.

"Not (backward, red), still Friday at 13.30 from the DPP, DPD, and DPC, all of them go through Zoom, listen to Mother's speech, General Chair's speech, after that DPD friends, DPC simultaneously carry out activities according to locality in each region," Said said at the Senayan Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Wednesday, January 8.

"We are not bothered by anything at all. Because this is the party's agenda," he continued.

Said also asked that the search of Hasto's house in Bekasi not be made noisy and related to the momentum of the PDIP Anniversary. Because he said, the summons of Hasto by the KPK had been carried out for a long time.

"(The search, ed) was not enlivened before the birthday, the KPK initially called the Secretary General on the 7th, Mr. Hasto. Pak Hasto, because he was busy preparing for the party's anniversary, asked for time so that the summons after the party's anniversary would be normal to interpret him. Don't then, well, this happens to be the party's anniversary momentum, even though before the party's anniversary, it has also been summoned," said Said.

"But also at the same time, Pak Hasto must be respected for his busy schedule when facing January 10, the party's birthday," he added.
