REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- President of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Mohamad Sohibul Iman urged his cadres to not be too emotional in responding negative issues that attack the party. He reminded all cadres to show their best manners when being provoked politically or ideologically.
"Do not get carried away by the negative feelings when there is an issue that attacks or offends the PKS. Convince the PKS cadres to be good," Iman said during National Leadership Meeting of 2019 Election Winning Team of the Prosperous Justice Party at Bogor, West Java, on Monday.
According to him, PKS was indeed stimulated politically and ideologically by certain parties to get provoked. For this reason, he stated that every accusation should always be taken positively.
The PKS president believed that people who join PKS are moderate. They knew how to respond to such provocation and it made issues that call these political parties radical and intolerant become irrelevant.
"The PKS offers 'demonstration effect,' the spectacle effect, the guidance effect, and the pilot effect. It makes people believe in us," Iman revealed.
Meanwhile, Chairul Anwar, chairman of the PKS Central Level Party Winning Team, asked the electoral managers and legislative candidate members to focus on positive campaigns. He asserted the directive should be taken as mandate to all cadres.
"This is a mandatory to all cadres," he said.
Chairul explained positive campaign should be done both in social media and in meetings with public. He expected all cadres to be ready to serve the public wholeheartedly.
