At Jeruk Purut TPU, Gatot Nurmantyo Hopes Activists Follow Rizal Ramli's Critical And Brave Traces

JAKARTA The former TNI Commander, Gatot Nurmantyo, also accompanied the funeral of the former Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs Rizal Ramli to Jeruk Purut TPU, South Jakarta, Thursday, January 4. Gatot said the deceased was a smart and brave activist.

"Adolescent activists are brave, many activists are smart, but few activists are smart and brave like the deceased," Gatot told reporters, Thursday, January 4.

Gatot also said that Rizal Ramli was a consistent person in the struggle to defend truth, injustice, and society. Moreover, he is also a critical person.

"The special impression is that he is always consistent. Whatever, but what he conveys is based on data," he said.

Therefore, he admitted that he really lost the figure of Rizal Ramli. Gatot hopes that there will be a successor who has the courage like the late Rizal Ramli.

"We are grieving and we pray that the late Husnul Khotimah and that his tracks will be followed, especially by activists," he said.
