View all search resultsFollowers of the Ahmadiyah religious sect are hoping to meet with President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo to tell the country’s leader to revoke the 2008 joint ministerial decree on Ahmadiyah, which prohibits members of the faith from propagating their teachings.
In 1979, then president Soeharto set up the Supervisory Body for the Implementation of the Guide to Realization and Implementation of Pancasila (BP7), a powerful body tasked with indoctrinating the country’s citizens in the five founding principles of Pancasila, in a bid to tighten his political grip in the face of rising opposition.
As the country confronts growing sectarian tension, the administration of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo is launching a movement aimed at promoting the country’s foundational ideology of Pancasila. To this end, Jokowi has declared June 1 a national holiday, or Pancasila Day.
