The discussion forum on Pancasila would be attended by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Vice President Boediono, the heads of the People`s Consultative Assembly (MPR) , House of Representatives r, Regional Representatives Council (DPD), State Audit Agency (BPK), the Attorney General`s Office , Judicial Commission (KY) and the Constitutional Court (MK).
Pancasila comprises the five principles of the Republic of Indonesia`s state ideology, namely belief in God Almighty, humanity that is just and civilized, the unity of Indonesia, democracy guided by the wisdom of representative deliberation, and social justice for all Indonesians.
Mahfud said the state must be saved, and one of the ways was to making the saving of the state ideology a national task.
"Defending the government could lead to a dispute and disunity due to political differences, but it is alright to defend the state ideology because it belongs to all of us. That`s what we will discuss," Mahfud said.
According to Mahfud, the heads of the state institutions would each present a paper at the meeting.
"Technically, each state institution head will present a paper for 15 minutes, but the president will be given longer time because the president will summarize all the ideas in his own opinion which will later be elaborated on by the meeting.
