JAKARTA - The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) defended Anies Baswedan who was criticized after visiting Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka in Solo, Central Java.

Anies is said to be just talking about meeting Gibran, to using President Joko Widodo's eldest son for his political interests ahead of the 2024 General Election.

PKS DPP chairman Mardani Ali Sera asked Anies to take it easy to respond to these various responses.

"Mas Anies is cool, usually there will always be comments. If it is positive, be grateful, if it is negative, take lessons or be indifferent," said Mardani, Wednesday, November 16.

According to Mardani, the relationship between Anies and Gibran was very good. Most importantly, he said, Anies' political safari does not use state facilities because it has completed its duties to lead Jakarta.

"So, keep going, Mas Anies," he said.

Previously, the chairman of the PDIP DPP, Said Abdullah, assessed that Anies' move to meet Gibran in Solo was one way to make the NasDem presidential candidate (readpres) known to the public.

That's part of Anies' way, continuous steps to get better known to the public," Said said at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday, November 15. "Remember, if he is the governor of Gibran, there must be shrimp behind the stone. Because Anies doesn't have performance," he said.
