"TAP MPRS was absolutely should be repealed," said Rahmawati Soekarnoputri in an interview with the magazine of Constitution.

Bung Karno family represented by Hj Rahmawati Soekarnoputri apply for judicial review of MPR Decree No.1 of 2003 on Judicial and Legal Status Matter MPR / S Year 1960 to 2002, Article 6, all the phrases "good for being einmalig (final) and along the phrase "or have been completed", particularly for No. order 30 of the Decree of Revocation of Power MPRS.XXXIII/MPRS/1967 State Government of President Sukarno of the 1945 Constitution. 

Bambang Suroso as attorneys argue that the phrase "is einmalig (final) and the well has been completed" has a clear and imminent harm constitutional rights, legal and political rights of the Petitioner who is the biological child of Bung Karno. Strictly speaking, the MPR has reinforced a negative stigma in society that Bung Karno for his leadership has done to protect the constitutional aberrations and profitable PKI. "Though it MPRS opinion remains to be seen," said Bambang essential when reading his case before the panel of judges chaired by Judge Muhammad Alim, the inaugural session on Monday (3/4).

He added that the constitution has expressly provide that the existence of the regulation should not be detrimental to the rule of law and hurt people as a whole, and therefore TAP MPRS must not conflict with the political right and the sovereignty of the people, by bumping rationality causing prolonged chaos.

Never Explained

"Bung Karno power revoked, arrested, made prisoners, without knowing his fault. TAP MPRS was actually wrong, it stains made by the early history of the Suharto regime but the political side that is the modus operandi of the coup in the constitution, in the MPRS," he explained.

Similarly, Rahmawati accompanied by Guruh Soekarnoputra asked the Constitutional Court revoked the TAP MPRS Bung Karno that the good name be restored. "It’s not just for the good name of Bung Karno but also for the general public is the victims. People who play politics with ideology carry Bung Karno seemed to be in a gray area, so it was an absolute MPR should be repealed," he said.

In response to the applicant’s request, Akil Mochtar asked the applicant to return application to construct an argument in the area of authority of the Constitutional Court. "Act the Court has limited limitatif can only check against the Constitution Act, 1945, while the MPR is above the law. Please use the logical legal argument that the Court may inspect, examine and decide," he concluded. (Juliette / mh)
