  "summary": "The Golkar Party has vehemently denied that its chairman, Coordinating Downstream and Energy Transition Minister Bahlil Lahadalia, was involved in an illegal police wiretapping operation targeting President Prabowo Subianto. The party has threatened legal action against anyone spreading such claims, submitting legal notices to public policy expert Muhammad Said Didu and former State Intelligence Agency (BIN) intelligence agent Sri Radjasa Chandra for their statements in online interviews. Said's interview, which aired on November 5, mentioned several figures including Bahlil, former President Joko \"Jokowi\" Widodo, and National Economic Council (DEN) head Luhut Pandjaitan. Both Bahlil and Luhut held various government positions under Jokowi during his decade in office. The party claims that Said and Sri's statements aim to influence public opinion against Bahlil and damage his reputation.",
