JAKARTA - Minister of Law and Human Rights Yasonna H Laoly, responded to the attitude of a member of Commission VIII DPR RI from the PKS Faction Iskan Qolba Lubis who walked out (WO) during a plenary meeting to ratify the Criminal Code Bill. According to Yasonna, Iskan's attitude on his opinion is legal, but that does not mean that he can force his will. "It's okay to express opinions, views, it's legal. But forcing will is also invalid," said Yasonna at the Nusantara II Building, Tuesday, December 6. Yasonna understands, in the ratification of the Criminal Code, of course there are pros and cons. However, he said, in level I discussions, PKS's stance had already agreed with the record. "PKS itself has indeed expressed an opinion that it agrees with the notes, the notes exist into memories, so the notes on the discussion of this law have records," said Yasonna. The PDIP politician also touched on the attitude of the Democrats who also gave notes to socialize the Criminal Code so that the public could more clearly absorb information in the law. "Including the Democrats, the record is as said, it needs socialization, it needs clarity so that there is no misinterpretation from law enforcement later," said Yasonna. It is known that the ratification of the Criminal Code Bill was marked by a 'Small commotion' between Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Sufmi Dasco Ahmad as chairman of the session with members of the PKS faction Iskan Qolba Lubis. Iskan had given interruptions to convey two notes to the Criminal Code Bill. However, Dasco immediately cut the interruption because Iskan requested that the article on insults to the president and institutions be removed. In fact, previously the PKS faction had agreed that this bill was brought to the plenary session. He even threatened to sue the article to the Constitutional Court. "PKS still has 2 notes, first, those who insulted the government were sentenced to 3 years in the rubber article, I ask that this article be revoked. Meanwhile, students have also demoed, this is a setback from the ideals of reform, this article will take the right of the community to express their opinions. throughout the world the people must criticize the government, the president must also be criticized. I will submit to the Constitutional Court this article," said Iskan in a plenary meeting. Dasco then cut Iskan's statement because he felt that the PKS faction had broken the agreement. "The PKS faction has agreed with the notes. We have received the notes, it has been agreed by PKS," said Dasco, cutting Iskan's interruption. "I'm talking, don't be a dictator here, I will submit it to the Constitutional Court," continued Iskan, who sits on Commission VIII of the DPR. "You ask to withdraw those that have been approved by the factions. That's why you have given a note," said Dasco again. "If I don't give it time, I will get out of here," Iskan threatened. "Please," said Dasco.
