Anti-Inul protest held at TV stations<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: More than a thousand people staged a rally on Tuesday
\nat television stations SCTV and Trans TV on Jl. Gatot Subroto
\nin Central Jakarta to protest their continued airings of
\nperformances by controversial dangdut singer Inul Daratista.<\/p>\n
The protesters, mostly women from the Communication Forum for
\nAnti-Pornography, criticized the television stations for airing
\nInul's performances, which they called \"pornographic\".<\/p>\n
The protesters also demanded the government and the House of
\nRepresentatives draft a bill to fight pornography.<\/p>\n
At SCTV, the protesters met with the station's operational
\ndirector, Alex Kumara, and public relations manager Budi
\nDarmawan.<\/p>\n
Inul rose to fame on her so-called \"drilling\" dance and has
\nbeen in the headlines recently after being condemned by dangdut
\nlegend Rhoma Irama, who called Inul's dancing pornographic.<\/p>\n
However, Rhoma's criticism moved many individuals and social
\norganizations, including the National Commission for Women, to
\ndefend Inul and her right to express herself. --JP<\/p>",
