Lawmaker Rahayu Saraswati Djojohadikusumo has expressed her disappointment in People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) Speaker Zulkifli Hasan, who she says blocked her from performing the role of prayer reader during a plenary session on Friday.

The Gerindra Party member was originally told she would be tasked with reading the closing prayer during Friday’s plenary session. However, when Rahayu arrived at the meeting room in the morning, party faction leaders told her that Zulkifli disapproved of the decision to appoint her as prayer reader.
