JAKARTA - The Youth Movement (GP) Ansor City of Surabaya asked the city government to evaluate the licensing of the Holywings entertainment venue in the City of Heroes, East Java, following the promotion of liquor containing SARA in Jakarta.

"It is clear that it was intentional to destroy religion. If the management said it was not intentional, it would be a lie," said Ansor Surabaya Youth Movement (GP) chairman HM Faridz Afif in Surabaya, Saturday, June 25, quoted from Antara.

Previously, the South Jakarta Metro Police on Friday (24/6) named six people as suspects in a case related to ethnicity, religion, race and intergroup (SARA) related to the promotion poster for free liquor at Holywings for visitors with the name "Muhammad and Maria" which was uploaded on social media accounts.

The tumultuous promotion has been removed, and Holywings' management has apologized on its social media accounts.

Holywings management also conveyed that the promotion made by the promotion team was without management approval and has followed up on the case.

According to Afif, the promotion carried out by the management of Holywings has made a lot of noise and unsettled the community, especially Muslims in Indonesia. So, he continued, his party considered that Holywings was no longer feasible in Indonesia, as well as in Surabaya.

Afif assessed that what the management of Holywings had done had insulted or insulted religion. Although the management has apologized to the public, Afif asked the authorities to continue to process it legally.

For that, he continued, GP Ansor Surabaya will send a letter to the Mayor of Surabaya Eri Cahyadi to immediately close and revoke Holywings' license in Surabaya.

"We ask the mayor to immediately close and revoke Holywings in Surabaya," Afif said.

Regarding the DKI Jakarta Ansor GP, which has started to move to a number of Holywings outlets in Jakarta on Friday (24/6) night and carry out the sealing, Afif said, Ansor Surabaya has not yet done so, but has taken the procedural route.

"We first sent a letter to the mayor asking for Holywings' permit in Surabaya to be revoked," he said.
