JAKARTA - Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto revealed that there was a unique moment when the couple for the presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo and vice presidential candidate Mahfud MD together with General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri made a pilgrimage to the grave of the First President of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno in Blitar, East Java.

The reason is, when Ganjar, Mahfud, Megawati and her family prayed at Bung Karno's grave, immediately drizzling until the flag flew.

"During the prayer, the red-and-white flag and the presidential flag flew. After a prayer that was carried out solemnly suddenly appeared in the rain," said Hasto at the GBK Main Stadium, Jakarta, Friday, November 4.

According to him, this phenomenon is a good sign. Moreover, one of the goals of Ganjar and his entourage visited Bung Karno's grave to prepare for the 2024 presidential election.

"We are all building a culture that was built by the PDI-P, before there were major events including elections. Yes, we pray to the tomb of the proclaimer, namely Bung Karno," he explained.

Meanwhile, Ganjar also revealed their goal of making a pilgrimage to unite the party's forces in welcoming the 2024 presidential election.

"The external business is done, the party has given recommendations to us, we have started registering as well. What does that mean? We must strengthen, as a party we must unite and be strong, cannot be broken down by anyone," said Ganjar on the same occasion.

The former governor of Central Java warned that no party should try to divide the PDIP. If anyone tries to disturb the PDIP, they will face the 'banteng'. For information, the bull is the PDIP logo.

"Whoever breaks this party, you are against the bull. The Bull is tight (injured), it is never cryy, it will be tough," he said.
