JAKARTA - The chairman of the DPR, Puan Maharani, hopes that the Indonesian Islamic Student Movement (PMII) can continue to bring progress to Indonesia. Puan conveyed that it was related to the 62nd Harlah of PMII.
Puan emphasized that the role of young people, including students, is really needed to bring Indonesia to a better direction
"Therefore, students should not only be passive, but must actively contribute in helping to build this nation in various fields," said Puan in her statement in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Sunday, April 17.
He appealed to students who are members of PMII to continue to contribute to maintaining the unity and diversity of Indonesia so that the existing differences do not divide Indonesia.
This, according to him, is in accordance with the speech of the First President of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno at the First PMII Congress in Surabaya.
Puan quoted Bung Karno's speech, namely "At the first congress of the Indonesian Islamic Student Movement, I declared that the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia was a fixed price, the sentence from Sabang to Merauke contained a spirit of soul that was united in the Red and White Sangsaka".
The establishment of PMII on April 17, 1960 was inseparable from the role of the First President of the Republic of Indonesia, Soekarno, who asked Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) to establish a student organization. Even the Proclaimer was also present at the PMII I congress in 1961.
Half a century later or in 2017, Puan was present at the XIX PMII Congress in Palu, Central Sulawesi. Puan, who at that time served as Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK), accompanied President Jokowi to open the congress.
