JAKARTA - The Minister of Trade (Mendag) as well as the General Chairperson (Ketum) of PAN, Zulkifli Hasan alias Zulhas will face reports of alleged blasphemy at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police Headquarters and violations of election administration in Bawaslu.
Both reports were filed by the Legal Aid Institute (LBH) Yusuf following Zulhas' joke about praying when giving a speech at the National Working Meeting (Rakernas) of the Association of Indonesian Market Traders (APPSI).
"LBH Yusuf does not tolerate any insult to religion because of certain interests. Zulkifli Hasan (Minister of Trade) makes the prayer movement a joke," wrote LBH Yusuf in a written statement, Friday, December 22.
According to LBH Yusuf, Zulhas' joke was out of context in the APPSI National Working Meeting which was held in Semarang City, Central Java, on Tuesday 19 December.
"Zulkifli abused his position to support one of the particular candidate pairs, which is not an event for campaigns," reads the statement.
