The House of Representatives Commission VIII overseeing religious affairs will hold a hearing with National Police Chief Gen. Timur Pradopo and Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali on Thursday on the deadly Ahmadiyah attack in Cikeusik, Banten.

"We will be interrogating them about the performance of the police and the Religious Affairs Minister in this case," said Commission VIII chairman Abdul Kadir Karding at the House building on Tuesday as quoted by tempointeraktif.com

The Commission will ask Timor about the way police handled the attack on the Ahmadis.

"We want to get to the very bottom of this case," said Kadir.

Kadir said he will also request Suryadharma Ali to act wiser as a minister.

"The Minister cannot simply disband Ahmadiyah (as a sect)," Kadir added.
