JAKARTA - Constitutional Law Expert, Refly Harun, was reluctant to respond to the statement by the Chief Expert of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP), Ali Mochtar Ngabalin, who prayed for him to be quickly named a suspect and detained in the case of hate speech against Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) with Gus Nur.

"I don't want to be complained. That's all," said Refly after being questioned at the Police Criminal Investigation Unit as a witness for the suspect Gus Nur, Jakarta, Tuesday, November 3.

According to him, commenting on Ngabalin's statement would confuse the atmosphere. This, he said, was avoided.

Meanwhile, Refli admits that Bareskrim investigators have been harassed with 16 questions. He claimed that the investigator's question to him was related to Gus Nur's views on NU.

Then he dismissed Gus Nur's statement because he was provoked by him. According to Refly, what happened in the video was all spontaneous.

"He said the person who asked for my answer (Gus Nur) was like that. So it was not me trapping or fishing," said Refly.

Previously, Ngabalin through his Instagram account prayed for Refly Harun to be imprisoned with Gus Nur. That way, Refly knows the meaning of democracy.

"We also pray that your friends Waloni and Refly can follow you, so that you know this is democracy, the principle of this country," said Ngabalin on his official Instagram account.

Then, in the same upload Ngabalin also offended Gus Nur. He asked that the preacher stop blaspheming others.

"Sugi, hopefully you will quickly wake up to the others. Stop blaspheming and insulting others, we want to live in harmony and peace in this country. All communities are harmonious and peaceful Islam, Catholics, Protestants, Hindus, Buddhists, and Confucianism and belief groups all have NKRI with the same rights and positions - stop spreading hatred, "he wrote.
