SAMPANG - Residents who are members of the "Taretan Berbuat Madura" went to the Sampang Police Headquarters, East Java, to report Edy Mulyadi for allegedly insulting Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto as well as the General Chair of the Gerindra Party DPP.

According to the Secretary of the "Taretan Berbuat Madura" Prasetyo Lukman Hakim in Sampang, his party reported Edy Mulyadi for alleged violations of the Internet and Electronic Transactions (ITE) Law on the MimbarTube account.

The report follows Edy Mulyadi's statement which went viral on social media on January 18, 2022.

"We consider that the statement contains elements of insult, slander, and defamation of Mr. Prabowo," said Lukman Wednesday, January 26.

Lukman said, Edy's statement also caused a commotion in the community. For this reason, his party took the initiative to encourage the Sampang Police to thoroughly investigate the alleged violation.

However, this report was rejected by the Police on the grounds that the case had been reported by the public in another area with the same case.

"Although it was rejected, this step is our effort for the stability of the nation and state so that in the future something similar does not happen, given the alleged elements of humiliation, hatred," Lukman said, quoted by Antara.

The Head of the Public Relations Subdivision of the Sampang Police, First Inspector Sunarno, confirmed that people had come to the Sampang Police Headquarters to report the alleged insult to the Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto by Edy Mulyadi.

"It is true that there have been reports, but the leadership has already explained to the complainants that the case has been reported, so there is no need for a similar report," he said.
