Serang, Banten – The Muhammadiyah Students Association (IMM), a student wing of the Muhammadiyah Muslim organization, during its 16th national congress from November 4-6, will confer the "Terrorism Award" to the United States, its chairman Piet Hizbullah Haidir disclosed here on Thursday.

"The US does not pay any heed to the interests of other countries, and instead interferes in the affairs of other countries just to further its own interests. Such a country deserves to be given the Terrorism Award," Piet told Antara.

He pointed out that the US has been exploiting the terrorism issue to dictate its own political and business interests to other countries. "As a sovereign country, Indonesia should not kowtow to US pressure," Piet said.

The IMM also asked the government to revoke Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perpu), No. 1 and No. 2 on terrorism.
