House Commission III will invite the national police chief to explain about the police`s decision recently to detain suspended antigraft (KPK) commissioners, House member Gayus Lumbuun said here on Saturday.
"We, in Commission III in the House of Representatives (DPR), think there is no strong argument for the police to detain the two KPK deputies," he said after a discussion on "Polemics: Drama over Bibit and Chandra`s detention."
Gayus said the meeting between the national police chief and the commission that deals with law, security and human rights affairs was a routine event because the police was the commission`s working partner.
At the meeting scheduled for Thursday, he said, the commission would ask for an explanation from the national police chief with regard to the police`s decision to detain KPK deputies Bibit Samad Riyanto and Chandra M Hamzah to respond to public questions about it.
"The police must be able to explain the urgency of detaining them," Gayus who is also the chairman of the DPR`s Ethics Council, said.
He said the police had ignored sociological aspects in their decision to detain Bibit and Chandra since Thursday (October 29), meaning they had ignored the demand of a number of national figures for the deferment of the two anti-graft body leaders` detention.
The national figures included former Muhammadiyah Islamic organization leader Syafii Ma`arif, former president Abdurrahman Wahid, sociologist Imam B Prasodjo and several parliament members.
Meanwhile, he said, more than 50,000 people had expressed support through "Facebook" for the release of the two KPK deputy chiefs.
Another Commission III member, Dimyati Natakusuma, said Commission III would invite the national police chief, the attorney general and the KPK for working meetings.
The Commission III would meet each of them in turn on different days.
He said the commission decided to hold the meetings in response to the conflict between the police and the KPK that had caused public confusion.
"In the meeting the commission will ask for an explanation from the national police chief, the attorney general and the KPK for information to the public," he said.(ANTARA News)
