Wiranto rejected from seminar

KENDARI: Former military chief Gen. (ret) Wiranto has been
rejected from speaking at a seminar on the political situation at
the Haluoleo University here.

University rector Mahmud Hamundu on Thursday said, however,
that the rejection had nothing to do with politics, but simply
showed that the university respected regulations.

According to the rector, Wiranto was invited to speak at the
discussion in his capacity as a presidential candidate from
Golkar Party.

Had Wiranto been allowed to speak, he said, people would see
it as a form of campaigning. In fact, the campaign period has not
yet started.

Mahmud added that the university was drafting regulations on
what would be allowed and not allowed during next year's campaign
period. -- Antara
