Ridwan Kamil: Permit For Rizieq's Program In Megamendung Initially Friday Prayers

JAKARTA - West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil said that his party had never issued a crowd permit during the groundbreaking ceremony attended by Rizieq Shihab. Because based on the event committee's report, it was only Friday prayers.

"(The event permit) is the Friday prayer and the groundbreaking, that's the report of the committee to the sub-district head, to the regency task force. So it's not a big event that invites, just a routine event," said the man who is called Kang Emil, Friday, November 20. .

Then, when the committee held an event, the TNI Kodim also communicated to cancel the event. Because, this activity has the potential to cause a crowd.

"It has also been lobbied by the Kodim to remind potential crowds, so precautions have been taken," he said.

In fact, the event was still held. Thus, the dreaded thing happened. People who were enthusiastic about the event arrived and caused a crowd.

Meanwhile, regarding the issue of the Islamic Front Pembelas (FPI) claiming to have obtained permission from the governor, Kang Emil denied this. He said that his party had never issued a permit.

"I said that it was not true, the procedure was not correct, I also claimed that it was not true," he said.

For that, Kang Emil completely left it to the police to investigate the truth. Because technically, the one who has the authority to issue events in Megamendung is the Bogor Regency Government (Pemkab).

"I have already said that the local event does not have permission from the Governor. The Governor's permission is if there is an event at the border. For example, this is Cianjur with Bogor or Bogor with Bekasi, so that later the two regions bisi (are afraid) will miss communication, now we usually go down, "he insisted.
