'PDI activists are like chicken'

PURBALINGGA, Central Java: Banyumas police chief Col. Binarto
complained yesterday about the Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI)
local chapter's decision to cancel its campaign Sunday despite
receiving police permits.

The chapter's chairman, Tri Daya Kartika, said the program had
been canceled because the chapter feared clashes with supporters
of the ousted PDI chief Megawati Soekarnoputri.

"PDI activists should remain militant and proceed with the
campaign even if there really are threats," Binarto told
reporters here.

"What's this? A little threat and they canceled the campaign,
then they're nothing but limp chicken," he said. (wah/swe)
