JAKARTA - Golkar Party politician Idrus Marham assessed that the relationship between political elites is getting worse despite having different views in the 2024 presidential election.

Figures from the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar pair camp, Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka, and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD are now keeping in touch using the moments of Eid al-Fitr.

"And at the top, we pay attention to how it is in the place of Rosan Roeslani as the Chair of the TKN and present from the Chair of the TPN, brother Arsjad Rasjid. I think this is extraordinary," Idrus told reporters in the Senayan area, Central Jakarta, Friday, April 12.

Although it is not clear what Arsjad's intention was to come to Rosan's residence, Idrus assessed that the meeting of the two was a good step. He hopes that there will be no more hostility among the elites.

Idrus said that every figure should be able to imitate the attitude of the First Presidents of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno and Mohammad Natsir. "In some writings, we read, the debate (both, ed) is running but friendship is also running," he said.

Even in history we know when Bung Karno was detained in Sukamiskin, Pak Natsir's group was the first to make a visit. Likewise, for example, when Bung Karno was exiled to Ende, it was Pak Natsir's groups who came to visit," continued the former Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos).

Idrus reminded not to let political differences threaten between figures. Because, the victims in the future are the community.

"For example, whether it is due to differences in the problem of political relations with power problems and then hindering the existence of a more basic political gathering for Indonesia to be more productive in the future, now, this is a problem," said the former member of the DPR.

As previously reported, Arsjad Rasjid attended an open house or home title held by Rosan Roeslani on Thursday night, April 11. The chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) seems to be familiar with Rosan, who is of different camps with him.

Meanwhile, Rosan also met with PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri at the moment of Eid al-Fitr 1 Syawal 1445 Hijri on Wednesday, April 10. Twice the former Kadin chairman visited the house of the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia, which is located on Jalan Teuku Umar, Menteng, Central Jakarta.

First, he arrived around 10.40 WIB but left at around 10:45 a.m. or just five minutes there. Then, he came again at around 15.00 WIB and was inside for about 1.5 hours.

PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto who accompanied Megawati said the two talked a lot about life experiences. Rosan even praised the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia.

Meanwhile, during the meeting, Megawati was also accompanied by Puan Maharani who is her son and Chair of the PDIP DPP, PANRB Minister Azwar Anas, and ESDM Minister Arifin Tasrif.
