JAKARTA - The Justice and Prosperous Party (F-PKS) has called on the government to form a team to investigate the events that led to the attack against Shiite Muslims in Sampang district, Madura Island, East Java Province, on Sunday.
"We from F-PKS suggest establishing a fact-finding team to investigate the problem. We must find out the root cause of the problem," PKS politician Hidayat Nurwahid said here on Monday.
F-PKS expressed concern about the violence and conveyed condolences to the families of the dead victims and also to those who were seriously injured in the attack. "The incident is surely regretful and F-PKS strongly denounces the communal conflict," Hidayat stated.
He pointed out that the local police should have anticipated the violence. Meanwhile, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) also condemned the violence against the Shiite Muslim community in Madura.
PDIP Deputy Chairperson Eva Kusuma Sundari said in a statement that the police must find out the perpetrators of the violence and punish them. "Don`t criminalize the victims like what had happened before," she added.
