JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria said Governor Anies Baswedan had not received an invitation letter for the 212 reunion. Recently, the Reunion 212 committee changed the scheme to hold activities in two locations, namely the Horse Statue in Central Jakarta and Sentul, Bogor.

"Yes, until today we are not there, have not received an invitation until today, and we all have our own duties, according to the duties of our respective functions. Let's do it according to our respective duties," said Deputy Governor Riza to reporters, Tuesday, November 30 evening.

The latest news, the 212 reunion action committee again changed the plan. The 212 reunion will take place in two locations, namely at the Horse Statue of Arjuna Wiwaha, Central Jakarta and the Az Zikra Mosque, Sentul, West Java.

"It's true, as has been said," said the 212 reunion committee, Eka Jaya, to VOI, Tuesday, November 30.

The 212 reunion which will take place at the Horse Statue will start at 08.00 WIB until 11.00 WIB. There, the speeches will be filled later.

"Activities at the Horse Statue, because this is a peaceful protest, we will have a regular ceremonial, (singing) Indonesia Raya and filled with tausiahs or speeches from figures," said Eka.

Then, activities at the Az Zikra Mosque will start at 13.00 WIB. Later it will be filled with dhikr together.

Regarding this change, Riza admitted that he did not know about it. "I just knew. As far as I know, it's at the Sentul Mosque," he said.

Riza said from the reports received, the 212 Reunion committee agreed that the 212 Reunion would be held in Sentul.

"For that we welcome, respect, be happy, grateful that there is no activity at the Monas because it has not been opened nor is there any activity at the Horse Statue," he said.

"Worried that it will disrupt public order, there will be a crowd that cannot be controlled because the place is open, not in a mosque, not at the Istiqlal Mosque for example, not at the Senayan stadium," continued Deputy Governor Riza.
