The Kaaba Youth Movement (Indonesian: Gerakan Pemuda Ka'bah), abbreviated as GPK, is the youth wing of United Development Party (PPP). The movement is one of the three youth wings of the party, the other being Kaaba Youth Forces and the Young Generation of Indonesian Development. The movement was frequently used by the officials of the United Development Party as unofficial bodyguards for them and their family.
During the New Order, GPK frequently uses violence to harass counter-Islam movements, especially the government. After the reformation, GPK still uses the same methods to harass "Islam-masked infidels and populists".
Even though GPK is the youth wing of the PPP, the political views of GPK frequently clash with PPP's view.
