Fanny Febiana, Jakarta – The Attorney General's Office (AGO) is still investigating the reason why the words "(defunct) Indonesian Communist Party (PKI)" are not included in the "Gerakan 30 September (abortive coup by the PKI)" phrase in history books for elementary up to senior high schools.

"A team is investigating whether this was done on purpose or not," said Intelligence Deputy Attorney General Muchtar Arifin after attending Pancasila Sanctity day, yesterday morning (1/10).

If the word PKI was intentionally not included behind G-30-S, then the AGO wants to know the argumentation as to why. "There must be clarity. Because this will affect the general public especially students. This concerns history," said Muchtar.
