JAKARTA - Former Chairman of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly Amien Rais also commented on the death of six special laskar guards for Rizieq Shihab who clashed with security forces on the toll road. Amien regretted that this could happen.

Amien also asked President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to go down the mountain to control this situation. Because, losing six lives is a situation that is quite serious.

"Mas Jokowi, this is my appeal to you, please control it because it all comes down to Jokowi's brother, sorry if I look a little angry, I am emotional, a bit angry, I see this is bad," said Amien Rais via Amien Rais' YouTube account. Official quoted Tuesday, December 8.

According to Amien Rais, who has now founded the Ummat Party, he considered that the loss of six human lives was a very heinous act. In Islam, human life is more valuable than any other. In fact, taking away one innocent life would be tantamount to eliminating a life.

"I just want to remind in the Koran that human life or human soul is much more valuable than the life of a cat, buffalo, rabbit or so on. Whoever kills people's lives because it is not a crime, he kills all lives," said Amien Rais.

Thus, Amien Rais asked the TNI and Polri to reflect on this. Because, all the facilities and positions that are currently obtained from the people. It doesn't just come naturally.

"For my brothers, friends of the Police, the TNI, please reflect on that handsome shirt, the tank you are riding on, the armored vehicle you are riding on, the airplanes, the bullets, the pistols all come from the people,"

As previously, six members of the Special Laskar guarding Rizieq Shihab were shot dead by the police. They were given strict action for attacking police officers.

This firm action by the police began with a police investigation regarding the schedule for examining Rizieq Shihab. This is because the police received information that there would be a mass mobilization.

But in the process of investigating by following Rizieq's movement, members of the Polda Metro Jaya were attacked.

According to the police, the attack took place on the Jakarta-Cikampek KM 50 toll road. The attack was started with a special army car which stopped the police car.

Then, about 10 of the special laskar attacked the members' cars using firearms (senpi) and sharp weapons (sajam). Until finally the police returned the shots.

As a result, six people died at the location. Meanwhile, four other troops fled.
