JAKARTA - The chairman of the Pancasila Youth Legal Counsel and Defense Agency (BPPH), Razman Arif Nasution urged the Deputy Chairperson to

Commission II of the DPR, Junimart Girsang, apologized publicly for his statement asking the Ministry of Home Affairs to bring order to mass organizations that are often involved in clashes.

Direct and open apologies are considered important in reducing the turmoil of PP members in the regions. This is because the escalation of demonstrations by PP members, called Razman, has increased in a number of areas, such as South Sumatra and North Sumatra.

"This is still orderly and still under control. I am worried, we have issued instructions from the general chairman, which I have conveyed that there should be no violence and no anarchy. But then again we are as tight as guarding could someone else enter. So this will be dangerous for the peaceful movement. Even the title now, if I may make an analogy, is that PP has requested Junimart Girsang's apology. My question to Junimart's brother, we have reminded him many times to apologize sincerely," said Razman to reporters, Monday, November 29.

Therefore, Razman encouraged Junimart to speak directly to apologize.

"Then you talk on TV, you apologize and then there is an offer from us to come to the MPR and we will control it, it will be safe," he continued.

As previously reported, dozens of cadres and administrators of the North Sumatran MPW Pemuda Pancasila (PP) visited the North Sumatran DPRD building, Jalan Imam Bonjol, Medan. They came in the aftermath of a statement by the Deputy Chairman of Commission II of the DPR, Junimart Girsang, regarding controlling mass organizations that are often involved in clashes.

Originally, the masses would stage a demonstration in front of the North Sumatra DPRD office. However, this failed to happen, the mass led by the Secretary of MPW PP North Sumatra, Ali M Madhy, went straight to the Banmus room of the North Sumatra DPRD.

In the Banmus room, the crowd was received by the Deputy Chairperson of the North Sumatra DPRD, Irham Buana Nasution and Mustafa. The mass meeting with the leadership of the North Sumatra DPRD was closed.

After the meeting, Secretary of MPW PP Sumut, Ali M Mahdy said that they came to convey their demands that Junimart Girsang apologize to Pemuda Pancasila.

"We have come here asking that the Junimart case be followed up by the North Sumatran DPRD. We have even submitted an official letter so that we hope that this letter will reach the Indonesian House of Representatives," said Ali, Monday, November 29.

Ali said that the PP cadres were originally going to take part in a demonstration but it was cancelled.

"So we only carry out peaceful actions like this. We from the Regional Leadership Council (MPW) of North Sumatra Province ask Junimart to immediately apologize both in print, electronic and online openly. If there is no apology, we will review it," he explained. .

Ali said, Junimart Girsang should apologize specifically and admit his mistake to Pemuda Pancasila.

"We specifically ask Junimart Girsang to admit his mistake and apologize publicly to the Pancasila youth," he continued.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chairman of Commission II of the DPR, Junimart Girsang, apologized. The statement was conveyed by journalists when the DPR building was demolished by mass organizations PP last week.

"If I am blamed for this response, as a human of faith, I apologize to the PP family," Junimart said, quoted by Antara, Thursday, November 25.

Junimart said this was related to his statement asking the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) to bring order to mass organizations that are often involved in clashes.

According to him, actually PP did not fully read his response related to the incident of clashes between mass organizations in Ciledug, Tangerang City and his relationship with the Ministry of Home Affairs. Junimart confirmed that there was no statement from him asking the Ministry of Home Affairs to dissolve PP

"There is no statement in my opinion that the Ministry of Home Affairs should dissolve PP as a national mass organization," he said.
