Kris Tjantra Ganjarist: Ganjar Is Nationalist And Obedient To The Constitution

JAKARTA - General Chairperson of Ganjarist (relawan pendukung Ganjar Pranowo), Kris Tjantra, assessed that Agus Zaini's criticism addressed to Ganjar Pranowo as the mastermind regarding Indonesia's failure to hold the U-20 World Cup was written by a person who was playing it.

"AZ wrote an opinion like someone was sticking it on the bed, and hoped that what he imagined would appear in his dream. The opinion presented, or more accurately, was called an assumption, full of imagination such as a fairy tale that was cool for a sleep delivery. Entertainment that deserves to be enjoyed alone. The chat of a coffee shop or lapo tuak," wrote Kris Tjantra in his statement, Sunday, December 3.

Kris Tjantra assessed that Agus Zaini should need to read more literature so that he has enough references and understands deeply about a problem.

"Thus what is conveyed is a fact supported by accountable data, not just assumptions, rumors, fairy tales, imaginations, let alone dreams," said Kris Tjantra.

Kris Tjantra further added that Agus Zaini in his writing said that Ganjar's refusal to the Israeli team, which resulted in the cancellation of the world trophy, was analogized as a form of resistance to President Joko Widodo.

Kris Tjantra assessed that Agus Zaini did not understand the constitution in force in Indonesia, so he clearly framed Ganjar Pranowo against President Joko Widodo.

"Agus Zaini needs to understand that Ganjar's rejection is not a form of resistance to President Jokowi at the same time not to show Megawati Soekarnoputri's 'blind loyality'. The action taken by Ganjar is entirely because she understands and obeys the Constitution. A leader should show a attitude that should be shown," said Kris Tjantra.

"That FIFA has actually canceled Indonesia as the host of the U20 World Cup before Ganjar spoke up, taking into account various intelligence and Hankam analysis. So it is very shallow to think Ganjar's voice can cancel FIFA's decision," he added.

Kris Tjantra also stated that Agus Zaini's criticism of Ganjar, who was considered an attempt to achieve popularity alone, was wrong. Kris Tjantra actually thinks that Ganjar's attitude has actually made the former Governor of Central Java the target of shooting.

"Ganjar has drawn controversy over his unpopular attitude. However, Ganjar did not care even though his electability had dropped due to this attitude. For him, it is much more important to show the attitude of a nationalist who does not attach importance to personal interests, does not comply with world organizations such as FIFA, but is subject to the Constitution," he continued.

In the end, Kris Tjantra gave advice to Agus Zaini to "immediately wake up from his dream" and read again about history or historical records related to the loyalty of Ganjar Pranowo to PDIP.

"Associating Ganjar with the story of the traitor is the funny part of Agus Zaini's imagination. He should immediately wake up from his dream and read more historical records that show Ganjar's loyalty which is not only tested by the PDI-P who has educated and raised him. His loyalty is also tested on the nation and state, on the ideology of the nation, national values, and diversity," concluded Kris Tjantra.
