Anti-Communist Front set up

Anti-Communist Front set up

BANDUNG: Around 100 West Java politicians and public figures
at a ceremony at the Panghegar Hotel here on Friday signed up to
the establishment of the West Java Anti-Communist Front in their
efforts to curb what they called "the emergence of new Communism
movements".

The front chairman, Ali Rohman said that the new Communist
movements had been clearly seen in mass deployments allegedly
instigated by political elites.

Citing as an example the East Java huge mass rally which
turned violent, Ali said that the now banned Indonesian Communist
Party (PKI) had used similar tactics before its abortive coup in
1965.

According to Ali, the political uncertainty in this country
might cause Communists to infiltrate and profit from the chaos.
