Latest From Reunion 212, Delivering Three Demands, One Of Which Rejects MUI Dissolved

JAKARTA - General Chairperson of the 212 Alumni Brotherhood, Slamet Maarif, voiced three demands during the 212 Reunion in Central Jakarta.

He conveyed this in an oration on a command car located on Jalan Wahid Hasyim. Remembering that the action participants could not gather in the Horse Statue area because of the blockade.

Slamet called for three demands. First, the participants of the Reunion 212 action demanded an end to the criminalization of ulama. However, he did not mention who the party that got the criminalization was.

"We demand to stop the criminalization of ulama. We are taking action to defend the ulama today, there should not be any ulema who have been wronged by various contrived cases," Slamet said at the location, Thursday, November 2.

Second, Slamet voiced his defense to the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) after the narrative of encouraging the dissolution of MUI because one of its fatwa commission members was arrested by Densus 88. Slamet did not want MUI to be dissolved.

"Why should we defend it, because there is a group of people who are trying to talk about dissolving MUI. Are they ready to defend MUI?" Slamet shouted and was answered by the crowd. Third, Slamet invited the participants of the 212 action to reject the practice of corruption. Slamet also highlighted allegations of corruption in the PCR test procurement business.

"Today, we are crushing the corruptors, whoever the person, the group, the party is in a crisis, the people are starving everywhere, he is taking people's money for his personal interests, we must destroy all of them. Including we ask, O government, KPK, to investigate the PCR business. Right? Because there are indications of corruption there," he said.

On the ground, a number of masses of the 212 Reunion action were still around the Monas area. But they could not enter the area.
