Suara.com – PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto denied reports from Singapore’s well-known media, The Straits Times, which said that PDIP Chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri’s relationship with President Joko Widodo or Jokowi was experiencing a rift.
Hasto assessed that the anonymous source interviewed by The Straits Times had political interests.
“The media is from narsum (source person). The narsum is not named, so it has certain political interests.
