PDI open for Bambang, Bintang

Mon, 20 Mar 1995

SEMARANG, Central Java: The minority Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI) hopes that two outspoken legislators dismissed from the House of Representatives will join the party.

PDI chief Megawati Soekarnoputri said here Saturday that Bambang Warih Koesoemo, from the ruling Golkar party, and Sri Bintang Pamungkas, from the United Development Party (PPP), would be invaluable assets to PDI.

"PDI's doors are wide open for Bambang and Bintang as well as anyone else wanting to contribute their best to the party," she said at a get-together with local party activists.

Bambang's dismissal has been approved by President Soeharto but the PPP has yet to pass on its proposal to sack Bintang to the House leadership. (har)
