JAKARTA - Chairman of the National Winning Team (TPN) Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD, Arsjad Rasjid, said that acts of violence or mistreatment of a volunteer are equivalent to all supporters of the presidential and vice presidential candidate pair (candidates-candidates) number three. This is because all volunteers are considered as a large family of supporters of Ganjar-Mahfud.
The statement was made in response to the persecution of Ganjar-Mahfud volunteers carried out by TNI personnel in Boyolali, Central Java, a few days ago.
"For us, every supporter of Ganjar-Mahfud is a member of Ganjar-Mahfud's extended family, the act of violence against one person is violence against the entire Ganjar-Mahfud family. And we are very serious, incidents like this should not happen again," said Arsjad to reporters, Monday, January 1.
Not only affirming the attitude of acts of persecution, but Arsjad also said that TPN had taken steps to deal with these problems.
One of them provides legal assistance to the victims. Then, help the families of the victims in dealing with this situation.
"TPN has moved and will continue to provide legal support and assistance until this case is resolved. TPN also continues to communicate with the families of the victims to help alleviate the situation faced," he said.
In addition, TPN also condemns acts of violence and intimidation in any form. All parties involved in democratic parties are invited to avoid things that contain elements of violence or fraud. This is only for the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) to run peacefully and with dignity.
"TPN invites all parties involved in the election democracy party including candidate pairs one and two to jointly avoid and condemn all forms of fraud and violation violence. In order to maintain a peaceful, fair and dignity election atmosphere," said Arsjad.
