In the appeal, the entire community was asked to join the demonstration on Saturday, July 24.
Sure enough, on that day a group of people came down and staged an action. But soon they were dispersed by the police. In fact, six of them who were students and civilians were arrested.
In response to the action, the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) said that behind the circulation of the 'Jokowi End Game' call, there were parties who were provocateurs. They used the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse to incite people to take to the streets to hold demonstrations.
"BIN continues to detect and coordinate through the Kominda and Forkominda forums regarding the dynamics of handling COVID-19, including anticipating the existence of interest groups provoking the people," BIN Deputy VII Wawan Hari Purwanto told reporters on Sunday, July 25.
With the existence of groups of provocateurs, said Wawan, the public is asked to be more careful and not easily influenced. This is because various issues will be used by these individuals to build distrust of the President.
"People are advised not to demonstrate during the pandemic because they are vulnerable to being used by provocateurs to confuse the situation, build distrust of the government, and even demand President Jokowi to step down," said Wawan.
On a different occasion, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam), Mahfud MD also said that the party who was the provocateur behind the action was already known. They aim to ride the actions of the community.
"The government knows that a group of people have the desire to take advantage of the situation. Earlier there were pure groups, then there were impure groups," said Mahfud.
However, Mahfud said that does not mean demonstrations are not allowed. In fact, the government will accept all the aspirations of the people.
But with a note using ways that do not violate the rules. Because, if there is a violation behind the act of conveying aspirations, of course, the security forces will take action.
"The government wants to emphasize that physical demonstrations that do not comply with health protocols endanger public safety and violate the law, the government will take strict action," he said.

Lecturer of the Department of Communication, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, University of Indonesia (FISIP UI), Ade Armando also commented on this student action plan. According to him, this action was ridden by politicians who wanted to overthrow the Jokowi government.
"I don't believe that the Jokowi End Game campaign is a pure student movement based on a serious study of the condition of Indonesia. This is a movement of idiots and because they are stupid it is easily exploited by politicians who aspire to overthrow Jokowi," explained Ade Armando.
Ade added that student activists who mobilized this action openly stated their goal, namely to overthrow the legitimate government to paralyze the economy.
"Because it becomes relevant perhaps to realize that their action will start from Glodok to the palace. Why Glodok? Yes, because it is one of Jakarta's business centers which is filled with medium and small entrepreneurs," explained Ade.
This student movement is not at all based on the desire to improve the state of the nation. The goal is to create chaos. "Anyway, Jokowi must step down. The fact that the government is struggling to overcome the COVID outbreak is not important," explained Ade.
