JAKARTA - The general chairman of PB Nahdlatul Ulama, Yahya Cholil Staquf, continues to support the police despite being plagued by various problems.
"PBNU will still be behind the Indonesian National Police," said the man who is familiarly called Gus Yahya, Jakarta, Friday, September 9, quoted from Antara.
Gus Yahya said that all institutions must have problems so leaving the Polri institution would only worsen the situation in this country.
"The National Police are also having a tough problem, but we can't leave the Police," he said.
Even though the National Police are facing various problems, continued Gus Yahya, all parties must continue to support it. PBNU insists that it will remain behind the Police.
According to him, every country including Indonesia needs a solid, strong police force and must be fully supported by all elements of the nation.
"If we live with the National Police, this country will be destroyed. Everything has its problems, but we still have to be behind the Police, including behind this country," he said.
Gus Yahya said that as an organization that participates in establishing Indonesia, NU also has a responsibility to maintain the sustainability of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.
In August 2022, the Indonesian Political Indicators Survey Institute released the results of a survey of public perceptions of the National Police after the emergence of the murder case of Brigadier Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat or Brigadier J by the former Head of the Propam Police Division Inspector General Ferdy Sambo.
The results of the survey show that there was a decrease in public trust in Bhayangkara institutions after the murder of Brigadier J.
The Indonesian Political Indicators Survey revealed that in May 2022 public trust in the National Police was at 66.7 percent, but in August 2022 or after the murder case of Brigadier J emerged to the public, public trust fell to 54.4 percent.
The survey also measured public confidence in the police in the completion of the murder case of Brigadier J.
