Indonesian Islamic Party

Two years later, at its congress in Bandung, the PSII passed a motion revoking the 1933 expulsions as both men responsible for the decision, Oemar Said Tjokroaminoto and Agus Salim, had since died.

However, at the next PSII congress in December 1938, Soekiman, dissatisfied at his faction not being given leadership positions, and a number of members of the Muhammadiyah and Jong Islamieten Bond organizations, established the Indonesian Islamic Party (PII).

[4] That same year, Wiwoho Poerbohadidjojo of the PII was appointed to the Volksraad, in which the party had only one seat.

However, the following month, the Germans invaded the Netherlands, and under the state of emergency that was declared, the PII was not allowed to hold public meetings, and its activities came to a halt.

The party program included the formation of a unitary state with a democratic government, free and direct elections, expanding the right of assembly and right of expression, revocation of regulations regarding Islamic teachers, an end to immigration, nationalization of monopolies, legal protection for workers, and an end to the two-tier judicial system.
