"We have been given advice. We have participated in mutual cooperation, deliberation parties, there are different. Earlier, Mr. Komar (Komarudin Watubun), gave an explanation, if it was a senior party, then did not understand the orders of the general chairman, party policy was another problem," said Hasto.

Meanwhile, Gibran explained that he had explained the chronology of his meeting with Prabowo Subianto.
