JAKARTA - Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia responded to a report from the Golkar Party Youth Force (AMPG) on the alleged insult to him in the form of a meme that was crowded on social media.

Bahlil emphasized that he did not know about the report to the police. This was conveyed by Bahlil Lahadalia to reporters at the State Palace Complex, Jakarta, Friday, October 24.

Bahlil even asked that the report process be stopped. Bahlil also said that he had forgiven the meme makers. According to Bahlil, criticism of policies should be carried out politely.

However, Bahlil also emphasized that attacks that lead to physical, skin tone, and origins of a person have exceeded the limits. Bahlil Lahadalia also emphasized that criticism of state policies should not target the personal area.

As previously reported, the AMPG leadership and AMPI reported a number of social media accounts to Polda Metro Jaya on Monday, October 20.

The report is related to the spread of racist memes and uploads as well as slander against the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources as well as the General Chair of the Golkar Party, Bahlil Lahadalia.
