While arguing, Arteria looked emotional by speaking in a high tone while several times pointing at Emil Salim's face. In the debate, Arteria Dahlan even called Emil Salim's thoughts heretical.
"It's not, Prof. Are you lost, Prof?" said Arteria Dahlan, pointing to Emil Salim, who was the Minister of the Environment under President Soeharto.

Arteria's attitude made a commotion, leading to criticism from a number of employees of the Ministry of Religion.
Citing CNN, Commission III at that time discussed the issue of fake Umrah. Arteria advised the public prosecutor to not only inventory fraudulent Umrah travelers, but to take action. Arteria looked annoyed at the Ministry of Religion.
"This Ministry of Religion is asshole, sir, all of them, sir!" said Arteria.
However, Arteria realized that his attitude was not right. The day after, Arteria apologized and admitted to using harsh words because he was angry with individuals in the Ministry of Religion.
Withdrew in 2017, Arteria was also in the spotlight during a working meeting of Commission III and the KPK leadership. At that time, Arteria protested against the KPK leadership after being given the opportunity to speak. He protested because the KPK leadership did not call the DPR members 'Dear ones.'
