SBY feels he has never given orders to the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI).
Previously, the case of Ahok slipping his tongue was related to the Surat Al Maidah 51 full of dynamics. Ahok's camp felt that his case was politicized. He thought there were parties who wanted him out of the political stage.
The case of the slippage of the tongue of the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahok, is long. Ahok, who initially intended to invite the residents of the Thousand Islands to choose according to their conscience in the 2017 DKI Jakarta Regional Election. However, Ahok revealed with the words do not want to be deceived by the letter Al Maidah 51.
A letter that confirms to Muslims not to choose leaders from non-Muslim circles. The result is that Ahok's video clip spreads everywhere. The video clip is considered insulting to Muslims.
Ahok was also considered to have committed blasphemy. Islamic organizations intervened from the MUI to the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI). They asked the government to immediately arrest Ahok. However, it has not been done.
This condition made Islamic defense actions appear everywhere. The most memorable action was Action 411 and 212. Later Ahok was arrested. He then began to face trial related to blasphemy.
Ahok's camp also got around. Ahok did not want to be called a blasphemer. He also considered his case to be closely related to politics. Ahok's camp felt that there was a big actor who made MUI issue a blasphemy fatwa related to the Al Maidah 51 case.
Ahok's camp feels that they have evidence of a conversation between the General Chair of the Democratic Party, SBY, talking to the Chairman of the MUI, Ma'ruf Amin. The chat is seen as evidence of the Ahok case in the era of political nuances.
The evidence was tried to be presented at the trial. However, Ahok's camp was reluctant to say where the evidence came from.
"It's from God, from God everything. Now who is more powerful? BIN, the police, or God? God, right?" said Ahok's lawyer, Humprey Djemat, as quoted by lamankompas.com, January 31, 2017.
SBY immediately clarified regarding Ahok's lawyer's statement regarding the evidence of the conversation on February 1, 2017. The 6th President of Indonesia denied that he had intervened in the MUI to issue a fatwa on the Ahok case.
He also denied being the mastermind behind the emergence of a blasphemy fatwa in the Al Maidah 51 case. SBY admitted that he had spoken to Ma'ruf Amin. However, the conversation was not towards the Ahok case.
SBY was furious because his privacy was disturbed by illegal wiretapping efforts. He felt his dignity was trampled.
"I just ask for justice, nothing more than that. Because my rights have been trampled on and my privacy which is guaranteed has been canceled by being tapped in an illegal way. I hope that because I have said this in a good way with good intentions, then friends, supporters, please be patient and strong. Please be patient. Inshallah, there is a point of justice," said SBY as quoted by the lamankompas.com, February 1, 2017.
