Spokesperson For Tom Lembong's Criticism Hobby Of Spreading Enmity For Dragged Prabowo's Name

Debate On The Presidential Candidate For The Second Presidential Election Of The KPU In Jakarta, Sunday 7 January (VOI)

Spokesperson for Prabowo Subianto, Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak, opened his voice regarding the Co-Captain National Winning Team Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar (AMINAn National Team), Thomas Trikasih Lembong or Tom Lembong, who dragged the name of Presidential Candidate number 2. According to Dahnil, Tom Lembong's statement that referring to the invitation from the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan to Cak Imin to visit the nickel mine representing Prabowo, was tantamount to fighting each other. He emphasized that Prabowo had no connection at all with the debate between Tom and Luhut. "Pak Lembong may like to spread hostility. Pak Prabowo is not at all related to his debate with Pak Luhut. But suddenly dragged Pak Prabowo's name," Dahnil told reporters, Tuesday, January 30. Dahnil reminded that Luhut was not a member of Prabowo's timses. Because of that, he was surprised, suddenly the name of the Minister of Defense was carried out in his debate about nickel. "Pak Luhut is Pak Prabowo's senior, and he does not belong to Timses Pak Prabowo. So, how can he represent Pak Prabowo?" he said. Dahnil invited Tom Lembong to argue in a healthy manner with Luhut. He also asked Tom Lembong not to issue narratives that led to hatred. "I went to Pak Lembong to argue with Pak Luhut in a dignified manner. No matter how hard the debate was, there was no need to expand the 'radius of hatred and hostility' by hitting Mr. Prabowo. We want to compete in the presidential election in a healthy manner. Don't let any statements that come out imply hatred and hostility, those who are silent and unrelated to the debate are even pulled," said Dahnil. Previously, Tom Lembong welcomed Luhut's invitation to visit the nickel mines in Weda Bay and Morowali to his vice presidential candidate, Muhaimin Iskandar. However, he even said the invitation might represent Prabowo Subianto.

"We discussed many of the two of them and Mr. Muhaimin was very welcome, very positive for the invitation of the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs, who may also represent Mr. Prabowo," said Tom when met at the headquarters of the AMIN National Team, Jl Diponegoro 10, Menteng, Jakarta, Monday, January 24. Tom said Cak Imin and himself responded very positively to see the nickel mine. "We are very positive in response," he said.
