JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Party, Habiburokhman, assessed that all parties must be wise in responding to groups that do not like the government. He then quoted the words of President Joko Widodo and General Chairperson of Gerindra Prabowo Subianto not to enlarge something that could potentially cause division. Hal tersebut dikatakan Habiburokhman menanggapi pernyataan Kepala BP2MI Benny Rhamdani yang meminta izin ke Jokowi untuk pertarungan di lapangan melawan penyerang pemerintah jika penegakan hukum tidak berjalan. "I think it must be wise. The heart can be hot, the head must still be cold. We are all brothers," said Habiburokhman at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, November 29. "At times like this, Mr. Jokowi and Mr. Prabowo really say, something that causes division should not be exaggerated. But something that encourages unity is what we are fighting for," he continued. Even so, this member of Commission III of the DPR was reluctant to comment much about Benny's aspirations to Jokowi in a snippet of a video that went viral on social media. The reason is, an incomplete statement will be interpreted differently by the public so that he is also waiting for the clarity of Benny's intent. "We can't comment on the small video. I have experience once, people say it is complete, if it is cut into pieces it can be interpreted differently," said Habiburokhman. "We see that the problem must be complete, and we are waiting for Benny's clarification that what he meant and said. But at first glance it has been clarified, there is no intention of cornering other parties, so we respect his good intentions," he concluded. Previously, Head of BP2MI Benny Rhamdani, clarified his words recorded in a viral video regarding his aspirations to President Joko Widodo that volunteers would fight in the field against attackers and government insulters. According to him, this step is an illustration if law enforcement to bring order to the group does not work. "It's just a picture, an illustration, that if law enforcement doesn't work, our intimacy and anger can be done in this way (attacking on the field). How come we can't go down to the streets? That's just a message, but what we are pushing is law enforcement," said Benny, Monday, November 28. Even so, Benny assessed that the video clips circulating did not show a complete statement. He said, conveying aspirations to Jokowi was also not a closed meeting. "So it's not a closed event, but I'm sure the video is an incomplete video. If it's intact, it should be the whole thing, from the first to the finish in approximately 40 minutes. It should be published in full and conveying aspirations, views of problems, suggestions, suggestions, to the president. Not only me, "said Benny. According to Benny, although the Jokowi government has shortcomings, criticize not to be too late so that it attacks. For example, he said, slandering the government, throwing hate speech, pitting ethnic groups and religions, spreading false news, even defaming the name of the president and first lady. "We highlight this national journey. This is no longer a criticism, look at the ways they have done so far, efforts to delegitize, bring down government. Always with the same pattern, spread of hatred, slander, fighting between tribes and religions, hoax news and even insults and defamation of the symbols of the state, president, nation's capital," explained Benny. Therefore, Benny emphasized, so that attacks on the government are no longer repeated, law enforcement is necessary for the perpetrators. Because, according to him, if political grudges are allowed to arise due to the presidential election, there will be more in the future. "It keeps repeating itself, this is a deadly machine that continues to be produced, what we are capturing cannot be separated from the political grudges that were formed after the 2019 presidential election," he said. "This country is not allowed with the dream of 275 million children to be more advanced, damaged by a group of people who have never moved on and then held a formalized grudge and continued to try to bring down the government in a misguided way," added Benny.
