SURABAYA - DPD Prajaniti Hindu Indonesia East Java reported the man who kicked and threw offerings at the Mount Semeru disaster site to the Integrated Police Service Center (SPKT) of the East Java Police.
"We need to find out what the motivation of this person is. Apart from throwing it away, we are worried that there is a motivation for bringing conflict between religious people," said Deputy Chair for Law and Politics of the DPD Prajaniti Hindu Indonesia, East Java I Ketut Swardana, to reporters after reporting the case, January 10.
His party hopes that the authorities find the man who kicked the offerings and carry out a thorough investigation.
"This is why we want the motivation to be thoroughly searched because the religious community in East Java is very harmonious, there is no friction at all," he said.
Ketut emphasized that the man throwing the offerings was very disgraceful and hurt the Hindus and local cultural figures.
He hopes that the police will take this case seriously because it is feared that an incident like this will have a national impact.
Hindus in Indonesia, he said, were also advised not to overreact to the incident and ensure that the East Java Prajaniti would move to seek justice.
"Until today, the Hindus and cultural Indonesians have felt the sadness but have been able to restrain themselves," he said.
"We hope that the Regional Police Chief and his staff can find the person and find out what his motivation is, that's the most important thing. If his behavior is not too heavy, but his motivation is to pit religious people against each other," he added.
