Jakarta – The splinter group of the Association of Indonesian Farmers (HKTI) filed on Saturday a report to the Jakarta Police against the organization's original group chairman, Prabowo Subianto, only hours after the latter reported the chairman of the splinter group, Oesman Sapta Odang.

Oesman accused Prabowo of "having illegally used HKTI's name and logo" during a meeting held in a hotel last week. "Our legal division came to the Jakarta Police to file the report," he said.

Lutfi Hakim, an attorney representing Prabowo, reported Oesman to the police for falsifying documents while registering Prabowo's version to the Law and Human Rights Ministry.

"They registered our headquarters as their official office to the ministry. The office belongs to the HKTI under Pak Prabowo's chairmanship," Lutfi said, as quoted by vivanews.com.

Oesman was elected as "HKTI chairman" in Denpasar, Bali, in August, last year, almost coincided with Prabowo Subianto's re-election as the chairman the "other" HKTI, also in Denpasar.
