TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - General Treasurer of Golkar party Bambang Soesatyo has said that the party's leadership formed at the Bali Congress will sue the Justice and Human Rights Ministry for ambivalently dealing with the party's dual leadership issue.
"We will surely sue the justice and human rights ministry for being ambivalent and that can endanger the Jokowi-JK administration," Soesatyo said on Tuesday as quoted by Antara News.
Golkar, under the leadership of Aburizal Bakrie, will file a lawsuit at the Jakarta State Administrative Court (PTUN).
Responding to the Golkar Party's two rival camps application seeking legitimacy from the government, the ministry asked the rival camps to first try and solve the problem internally.
The response is contrary to what Justice and Human Rights Minister Yasonna Laoly did while dealing with the United Development Party (PPP), which was also split into two rival camps.
A similar situation has arisen in the Golkar Party, which has been split into two rival camps headed by Aburizal Bakrie and Agung Laksono.
The two rival camps on December 8, 2014, separately submitted reports about the new structures of the party's leadership and sought an official registration in the ministry.
"After considering various aspects such as jurisdictions, facts, and documents, we concluded it was an internal dispute that the justice and human rights ministry must not intervene in," Minister Laoly explained on Tuesday.
Therefore, the ministry decided not to make any decision on the rival camps request for legitimacy and asked them instead to seek a solution from the partys legal council.
Bambang Soesatyo called the ministers stance ambivalent and hence will file a lawsuit.
