JAKARTA - Member of the House of Representatives Commission I Effendi Simbolon stated that he was ready to meet Army Chief of Staff General Dudung Abdurachman to resolve the polemic that started with his statement about the division and compliance of the TNI, which was like a gang of mass organizations at a working meeting on September 5. According to Effendi, there were no personal problems between him and Dudung. "Once again, there is nothing related to my problem with the person I asked both Mr. General Andika and Mr. General Dudung. In fact, to both of them, I asked why you were harmonized like that," said Effendi after being summoned by the DPR MKD, Thursday, September 15. "I have never been hostile to anyone for the sake of Allah, for God's sake I have never been enemies. I have been in Commission I for 20 years," he added. He was surprised by the criticism of a number of TNI soldiers and mass organizations. Moreover, until someone came to his house. "Why am I being targeted. What does it have to do with the TNI, I'm nothing. What should be mobilized to wear is so barbaric," said Effendi. The PDIP politician also admitted that he had tried to contact Dudung to apologize. However, his message has not yet been responded to. Meanwhile, the TNI Commander General Andika Perkasa has no problem with his statement in the meeting. "I've been WA but I haven't responded to it yet," he said. Effendi then presented evidence that he had tried to contact Dudung. In fact, his message was tucked away by a picture of the red and white flag and the symbol of love. "I have love. Good morning General, please meet when you meet. Thank you for greetings, there is love, there is red and white," he said. Therefore, Effendi emphasized that he was ready to meet with General Dudung. Because, he doesn't feel anything wrong with his relationship with the four-star general. "My people don't have a problem, why then I became the target," said Effendi.
