Hasyim given apology deadline
Hasyim given apology deadline
JAKARTA: A senior Nadhlatul Ulama (NU) cleric gave Hasyim Muzadi,
the running mate of Megawati Soekarnoputri, seven days to
publicly apologize for using images of NU founder Hasyim Asy'ari
in his campaign posters.
Yusuf Hasyim, the head of the Tebu Ireng Islamic boarding
school in Jombang, East Java, as well as the son of Hasyim
Asy'ari, said he would file a lawsuit against Hasyim if he failed
to apologize by the deadline.
Images of the NU founder have been used nationwide in posters
featuring Hasyim Muzadi and Megawati. However, only Hasyim is
being threatened with a lawsuit because Megawati's
representatives have already issued an apology for using the
images. -- JP
