BNPT Guarantees Parties Participants In The 2024 Election To Be Clean From Terrorism

JAKARTA - The National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) ensures that all political parties participating in the 2024 General Election are free from the affiliate of the terrorism network.

"(Parpol) The one who passed this was clear, yes," said Head of BNPT Komjen Pol Boy Rafli Amar in his statement, Wednesday, March 15, confiscated by Antara.

Nevertheless, Boy Rafli revealed that there was intelligence data indicating that the terrorist organization wanted to ride the Indonesian democratic party to seize power through practical political channels.

"This limited information provides conditions that the terrorist organization is changing its 'from bullets to ballot boxes' strategy, to take a democratic path that is very likely to gain power," he explained.

He added that the data still needs to be deepened. The existence of this data should be a necessity for all parties to jointly increase awareness of the threat of radicalism and terrorism.

"Although the data is vague and still needs to be deepened, in a context to increase vigilance, it should be necessary to anticipate in the future," he explained.

All elements of the nation, especially the general public, are also expected to take a alert but remain rational by knowing the views of terrorist organizations that are very anti-national consensus, namely the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI), Pancasila, Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.

"In other ways, terrorist organizations also have the view that the state law is a 'unbelief law' which in their view must be fought because they have different views and beliefs in state governance," said Boy Rafli Amar.
