Colorful war at cemeteries

Colorful war at cemeteries

YOGYAKARTA: People in the sultanate have accused the United
Development Party (PPP) of being hypocritical over its attacks on
Golkar for extending the color war to local cemeteries.

Last month PPP complained to the Purwokerto administration for
painting the grave of an ancient Moslem propagator, Kyai
Robosemangsang, yellow -- the color of Golkar.

The Moslem-oriented party's officials said that Central Java
Governor Soewardi's "yellowization" campaign to help Golkar win
the election was so blind that even a grave was painted yellow.

However on Wednesday people accused PPP of being hypocritical.
A large banner bearing the inscription "PPP is good for both the
living and the dead" was seen above a tomb. (38/pan)
