JAKARTA, RIMANEWS - Sengaja atau tidak, Partai Demokrat kembali bikin publik binggung. Pasalnya, Wakil Sekretaris Jenderal Partai Demokrat, Ramadhan Pohan kembali berkicau tentang politikus berinisial A yang dituding berperan serta dalam menimbulkan konflik di Partai Demokrat. Ramadhan meminta agar Mr A berlaku ksatria dalam berpolitik. "Kalau terus diganggu tentu akan ada konsekuensi politik yang akan kami lakukan, mari kita main dengan ksatria saja," katanya Sabtu (4/6). Namun, betapa kerasnya ia berkata, ia tetap tidak membeberkan, siapa Mr A yang dimaksud tersebut. Apabila ada pihak yang merasa namanya disebut, dia mengatakan sejak awal Partai Demokrat tidak mementingkan nama melainkan manuver politik yang dilakukan si politikus itu. "Saya berharap Mister A ataupun orang-orang yang masuk konspirator jahat terhadap SBY agar berpikir ulang jangan lagi coba-coba memprovokasi atau mengobok-obok, jangan intervensi urusan internal partai kami,"
