JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) once provoked controversy. His statement was not to be lied to by the Al Maidah letter, paragraph 51 of the flood. Ahok is considered to have insulted Islam. Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) and other Islamic organizations move.

They held the 212 Islamic defense action which was attended by Muslims from various regions of the archipelago at Monas. The mission succeeded in making Ahok go to prison. This success led to an intention for the 212 Reunion. The reunion was able to open the Monas area 24 hours.

Efforts to bring religious issues are often sensitive. Whoever brings religious issues, will certainly be careful. Moreover, when dealing with Muslims. Ahok has felt it. The governor of DKI Jakarta in the 2014-2017 era had warned residents of the Thousand Islands not to be easily fooled by religious matters in September 2016.

Ahok also gave an example of residents not to be lied to by the verse letter Al Maidah paragraph 51. This verse confirms in writing to Muslims so as not to choose non-Muslims as leaders.

The statement was uploaded in a complete video to the DKI Jakarta government's Youtube channel. A lecturer at a private campus in Jakarta, Buni Yani then cut it off and it went viral. The results are astonishing. Muslims flocked to condemn Ahok's statement.

He is considered to have blasphemed religion and Muslims. They began to try so that Ahok could be dragged to the court for trial. Report after report was made. The attempt to ensnare Ahok was then followed by an action to take to the streets.

FPI dan ormas lainnya mulai melakukan aksi menuntut Ahok mundur dan segera di penjara. Aksi itu berlangsung beberapa kali. Puncaknya, mereka mengaman diri sebagai Aksi Bela Islam. Nyatanya Aksi Bela Islam tak membuat Ahok dihukum.

The investigation is like a road on the spot. No significant developments. All Muslims are starting to get hot with Ahok's free activities as Governor of DKI Jakarta. All Islamic organizations also tried to hold a big action: Action 212, his name.

The name was taken from the day the movement was carried out by Monas on December 2, 2016. Muslims from various regions came in droves to Jakarta to join. They whiten Monas. The great strength united to voice that Ahok was imprisoned.

The total claim of participants varies. Some say millions, there are also hundreds of thousands. A clear thing is not easy to gather big times in the modern era. Moreover, Ahok's demands for going to prison were granted in 2017.

In the 212 action, a political-religious movement later stands out as a reaction to the statement made by the Governor, Ahok. Ahok's statement is considered a ending. Ahok is a Christian seen by many members of the 212 Action participants as a threat to their religious values and feelings.

The 212 Action Movement, then, was developed to warn Muslims against threats and notify them of the backgrounds and positions of various regional leadership candidates, said Ismet Fanany and Rebecca Fanany in the book Popularism, Democracy and Community Development (2020).

The 212 action has not been separated from memory. Muslims are still reminded of the solidarity of Muslims coming from various regions to Monas to defend their religion. The heroic narrative is even repeated.

Later, the alumnus of the 212 action consisting of FPI members, the National Movement for Defenders of Fatwa Ulama (GNPFU), and the 212 Alumni Brotherhood (PA) began to try to initiate the 212 Reunion in 2018. The 212 Reunion narration was distributed so that they would come on December 2, 2018.

The reunion was held to emphasize the strength of Muslims in Indonesia. Reunion information was also spread massively, from mouth to mouth to social media. Everything is filled with invitations so that Muslims return the Monas white.

The DKI Jakarta government did not want to lose. They participated in facilitating the 212 Reunion peace action. Monas, which was only open until 16:00, was made operational for up to 24 hours, but still some facilities were closed at 22:00 p.m. on December 1, 2018. The goal is that the action period can come directly to Monas to stay overnight and take part in the event the next day, December 2, 2018.

Monas only instructed the event participants to maintain cleanliness and facilities at Monas. Governor Anies Baswedan also gave his blessing. He gave space to the action participants who wanted to spend the night at Monas.

Historical events because the final Monas area can be reopened 24 hours to the public. Previously, the Monas area had been opened for 24 hours. However, the rules were revised in 2014. The Monas area only operates from 04:00 a.m. - 20:00 p.m. Currently, the Monas area is limited to 06:00 p.m. only.

"Yes, it is open (24 hours). Monas is closed normally (for visitors). For the gate area to be opened for participants (Reunion 212), you can stay overnight. There are no special preparations, just like ordinary routine events, security is the domain of the police, we just add one team to two teams. What should be a service holiday first. Tomorrow's Pamdal will be around 70 alerted from tonight until tomorrow," explained the Head of the Monas Regional Management Unit (UPK), Mundjirin Rasyid, quoted by the Java Pos page, December 1, 2018.
