On the other hand, he said, this inquiry must be received properly."So the government doesn't have to worry, the government doesn't have to think about what is not. But we want that the government can provide an answer, can provide an explanation so that what is developing in the community among academics, students can be neutralized, it can be explained as well as possible by the government in such a way. So the people can see that the election is running well, it is really legitimatious, "explained the member of Commission II of the DPR."So it's best, let us open ourselves up.
