JAKARTA - The TNI-Polri apparatus had an argument with the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) when they removed banners and billboards with Rizieq Shihab's picture in the Slipi area, West Jakarta.

A group of people dressed in gray striped clothes leaving Petamburan III Gang, Central Jakarta, which is the FPI headquarters, approached the JB 0503 Kodim soldiers who were removing a number of banners calling for moral revolution with the picture of Rizieq.

"What are you doing? It belongs to the people, ā€¯shouted a number of people reacting to the removal of banners and billboards with the face of FPI's High Priest Rizieq Shihab, as reported by Antara, Friday, November 20.

The curbing of the banners was indeed carried out in the Slipi area, which is the jurisdiction of the West Jakarta Metro Police. However, this activity was seen by the supporters of FPI who were headquartered directly opposite the location of the prosecution in the Petamburan area, Central Jakarta.

Inevitably, tensions arose between the dozens of supporters of FPI and the JB 0503 Kodim soldiers who were curbing the banner and billboards bearing Rizieq's posters.

West Jakarta Metro Police members also tried to reduce the tension, so that traffic jams were inevitable around the scene.

However, soldiers from Kodim 0503 JB kept removing unauthorized billboards. The billboards are said to violate DKI Jakarta regional regulations.

A number of banners and billboards that had been removed were then transported by pickup trucks, but the supporters of FPI had time to pull back the banners.

Meanwhile, members of the JB 0503 Kodim accompanied by West Jakarta Metro Police continued to take down the banner with Rizieq Shihab's picture.

Not only in Petamburan, the control of illegal banners and billboards was also carried out at several points such as Kebon Jeruk, Rawa Belong, Slipi and Tomang.
