JAKARTA - Constitutional law expert Refly Harun also commented on the report against the Army Chief of Staff (KSAD) General Dudung Abdurachman to the Army Military Police Center (Puspomad).
The report, which was issued by the Coalition of Ulama, Habaib and Lawyers Against Blasphemy of Religion (KUHAP APA) in January 2022, relates to the controversial statement by Army Chief of Staff Dudung regarding 'God is not an Arab.'
According to Refly, the law of causality (cause and effect) applies when viewing the report to the Dudung Army Chief of Staff. Refly pointed out that there were three important points that triggered the report to the Dudung Army Chief of Staff.
"If we talk about simple causality law, why do people then strongly criticize Dudung or are now generals because of issues related to three things," explained Refly through the Youtube channel @Refly Harun, reported on Monday, February 7.
The first was regarding the statement of KSAD Dudung's 'war threats' to FPI, ordering the reduction of Rizieq Shihab's billboards (Second) and finally being present in the press release of the deaths of the 6 Laskar Khsusus FPI.
"Those three are not the main tasks of the TNI, although later because of their attitude they can be rewarded. That's what actually happened so that the series of words 'God is not an Arab' is more of a reflection. The annoyance of certain community groups towards Dudung's previous attitude and comments, "
"That's why when he (Dudung) said 'God is not an Arab', many components criticized him, especially the community group component who felt 'hurt' by Dudung's previous statement," explained Refly.
Refly added, as a high-ranking officer in the TNI, Dudung didn't really need to do this. The reason is to position or withdraw TNI institutions into the civilian realm.
"In fact, if we want to be clear, the TNI cannot enter the area because this is an area that is civil politics. So the TNI must withdraw from all of this, both the TNI Commander and the National Police Chief so that they cannot become political participants, that's the problem," said Rafly.
Separately, Army Chief of Staff Dudung responded casually to reports from a group of people against him to the Indonesian Army Military Police Center (Puspomad). According to Dudung, there are many strategic tasks that must be done as KSAD. For example, assisting government programs and the welfare of soldiers.
"I don't really care about things like that. There are still many strategic jobs. For me, that was first," Dudung told reporters at the TNI AD Headquarters, Antara, Jakarta, Monday, February 7.
Dudung invites the public to report him, especially regarding his remarks that aired on Deddy Corbuzier's YouTube channel. "Please just report it, no problem," said Dudung.
He has also ordered the Puspomad commander to check the whistleblowers. “I conveyed the Puspomad commander, please, report it in writing. I said yesterday, please come. Check who the coalition is. Those people are anyone," he said.
