awmaker Agun Gunandjar Sudarsa, a member of the so-called "Team for Golkar Party's Saviors", says he will file a complaint over a tape that reportedly contained a recording of a "secret" meeting organized by incumbent chairman Aburizal Bakrie.

"The recording is just more proof that there has been a systematic attempt to allow Aburizal to lead Golkar again," Agun said.

"We will file a formal report with the Law and Human Rights Ministry. There has been illegalities that have robbed Golkar members of their democratic rights, which completely violates our party's statute," he added.

The tape was said to contain the voice of Aburizal's confidant Nurdin Halid, who was secretly recorded during a meeting with representatives of the party's provincial chapters around a week before the Bali congress.

"This will be tricky, really tricky. But we need you as our heroes. The strategy is to formulate the congress' rules to help Aburizal [be reelected]," said a voice believed to Nurdin's on the recording.(+++)
