JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya stated that the 'Khilafah Awakening' convoy violated the rules. Because, in the series of convoys, the Muslim Khilafah group distributed leaflets with the narrative of evoking hatred against the legitimate government.

"They invited people related to the Khilafah to join. Then there were also words they made in the convoy which they put words that aroused hatred against the legitimate government," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters, Thursday, June 2nd.

The act of spreading the narrative is considered an attempt to change the ideology of Pancasila. Thus, violating the 1945 Constitution.

"Trying to change the nation's ideology from Pancasila to a certain ideology is a serious violation," he said.

Therefore, Zulpan ensured that the Polda Metro Jaya would take firm action against the Muslim Khilafah group. Including, the leader and the person in charge of the group.

"Activities like this are against the provisions of the law in our country and the Polda Metro Jaya will take firm action," said Zulpan.
