PDI-P Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto said the direction of PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri regarding party cadres should not feel higher than the people is an effort to take care of themselves.
"This is an effort to be vigilant because the history of the PDI-P is inherent in the history of the nation's struggle for independence," said Hasto at the PDIP Party School, Jakarta, Sunday.
Hasto further said that Megawati tried to remind PDIP cadres that all sources of PDIP strength came from the people.

"Thus, always the PDI-P must not feel that he is higher than the people. The people must be a cakrawati (below leader, ed.) the party's struggle," he said.
Previously, Megawati, when she was the inspector of the RI's 80th Anniversary ceremony, asked PDIP cadres not to feel that she was higher than the people.
"I don't want to hear that there are cadres who feel they are higher than the people. The people have the highest rights in this country," he said.
He continued, 'If anyone uses the party for personal gain, remember, we are just a tool of struggle. Once again, the tool of struggle, not the goal of struggle itself to strengthen ourselves, power for yourself.'
