JAKARTA - The speech of NTT residents to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), Tuesday, February 22, gave rise to a polemic. For those who support, the crowd in welcoming is a form of spontaneity to welcome the number one person in this country

Meanwhile, for those who criticized, Jokowi was considered to have violated the health protocol (prokes). In fact, the crowd in the style of President Jokowi was compared to Rizieq Shihab, who is now a suspect.

One of the defenders of President Jokowi is COVID-19 volunteer Dr. Tirta Mandira Hudi.

In an upload on his Instagram account @ dr.tirta said that the crowd was natural considering that President Jokowi is a symbol of the state. So, wherever the former governor of DKI Jakarta goes, it will invite enthusiasm.

"So Pak President Jokowi is a symbol of the state, and wherever he goes he will always attract the masses," said Dr. Tirta as quoted from his Instagram account, Wednesday, February 24.

Unlike Tirta, Rizieq Shihab's colleague, Tengku Zulkarnain, actually questioned the claim that the crowd had not been invited beforehand. The prizes distributed by President Jokowi show the opposite.

"Dr. Tirta said that the crowd was not invited? Someone said it was not planned? Then the gifts that were distributed were intended for a crowd of genies and dedemites, not a crowd of people? Why are so many people getting weird now, huh. Thinking simple is difficult. Strange ... "tweeted Tengku Zul at @ustadtengkuzul, Thursday, February 25.

According to Tengku Zul, Tirta forgot that Rizieq Shihab also did not invite residents because he was a religious figure.

"The point of view of the security forces is to disperse the crowd for whatever reason and by whom indiscriminately in public places, whatever the reason, that's just it," said Tengku Zul.
