No reconciliation with Matori

No reconciliation with Matori

JAKARTA: National Awakening Party (PKB) board of patrons head
Abdurrahman "Gus Dur" Wahid said on Monday that reconciliation
between PKB and its former chairman Matori Abdul Djalil is
already impossible because of two major mistakes.

"He (Matori) has made two big mistakes -- violating the
party's decision to freeze its faction and establishing a
splinter central executive board," Gus Dur said as quoted by
Antara.

Matori was dismissed from his post as general chairman of the
party because he insisted on attending the People's Consultative
Assembly (MPR) special session, which led to the downfall of Gus
Dur from his presidency, despite the party having already frozen
its faction at the People's Consultative Assembly.

"Due to his mistakes, there will be no reconciliation with
him," Gus Dur said.

He said that the only way Matori could return to the party
would be if he apologized.

"If he apologizes, he can return and becomes one of the
party's advisers," he said. -- Antara
