JAKARTA - Chairperson of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), Megawati Soekarnoputri, revealed her reason for not attending the Pancasila Birthday Commemoration Ceremony in person at the Ende Pancasila Square, NTT, with President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) on Wednesday, June 1.
The reason was that Megawati had to be the keynote speaker at the National Seminar on the Rector's Forum for Strengthening the Nation's Character (FRPKB) in commemoration of the Birthday of Pancasila, June 1, 2022, virtually on the same day. According to him, the seminar agenda is also quite important. In fact, Megawati said that she had informed President Jokowi of the reason for her absence. "I excused myself why, because I think this (seminar, ed) is important," said Megawati in her speech which was monitored virtually via the Untirta Official YouTube channel, Wednesday, June 1. According to the chairman of the Steering Committee of the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency (BPIP), his job as a keynote speaker at the rectors' event is important to ground the Pancasila ideology. Because according to Megawati, it is the rectors who determine the curriculum in universities.
"I feel I will meet the rectors who will introduce it, because the chancellor decides the curriculum," he explained.
However, Megawati said, there were those who questioned her absence at Ende. In fact, according to him, there has been a division of tasks with other BPIP officials to attend the Pancasila Birthday commemoration ceremony with President Jokowi.
"I was asked why Mrs. Mega did not appear on the BPIP Steering Committee, journalists are usually ignorant, I said because of their duties. There are BPIP administrators there," he said.
Previously, PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto explained the reason Megawati Soekarnoputri and Puan Maharani could not attend in person in Ende, NTT. Hasto said that Megawati had been represented by the Deputy Chair of the MPR from the PDIP faction, Ahmad Basarah.
"On the commemoration of the Birthday of Pancasila which is centered in Ende, NTT, Mrs. Megawati Soekarnoputri cannot attend, and has conveyed a message through Mas Pramono Anung to President Jokowi, and assigned Mr. Ahmad Basarah, to represent him to Ende," said Hasto, Wednesday, June 1st.
Meanwhile, the presence of Puan Maharani was represented by the Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Lodewijk F Paulus, to read the opening text of the 1945 Constitution in commemoration of the birthday of Pancasila at the Pancasila Square, Ende City, NTT.
