Rukka received a message from one of Prabowo's associates saying that the President was willing to hold discussions with the Secretary General of the Indigenous Peoples Alliance of the Archipelago (AMAN).
The invitation came as the Indigenous Peoples Bill was becoming a major topic of debate in the House of Representatives (DPR).
Still, she suspected the President wanted to discuss the Indigenous Peoples Bill, which had languished in the House for 18 years.
"I don't want to bow and scrape," she said in Palmerah, West Jakarta, on Thursday, July 23, 2026.
Rukka acknowledged that rejecting the invitation could affect the fate of the Indigenous Peoples Bill.
