JAKARTA - Presidential Candidate Anies Baswedan talked about the importance of justice to ensure the occurrence of unity. Anies mentioned the issue of inequality.

"I often underline, don't talk about peace and unity if there is no justice, because it is impossible for us to present unity in inequality, unity in injustice. If anyone can show it, I want to see," said Anies after Friday prayers at the Bintaro Jaya Grand Mosque, launching Kumparan, Friday, March 8.

Anies expressed his gratitude for Indonesia having undergone a political process that he thought was not simple.

"Today are the days we complete, God willing, everything can be completed properly, and in the end it can bring a feeling of justice. From justice, unity can be present," he said.

Anies' presidential candidate in an interview with reporters also talked about the right to inquiry. He emphasized that the process of the right to inquiry in the DPR does not need to be rushed. Anies said the process was still waiting for the KPU to determine the results of the 2024 General Election.

"The time is still a long time, right. Just hasn't announced the KPU yet. So I don't think there is anything to rush today. The process is going on now. The final results of the election haven't come out yet," said Anies.

Anies emphasized that the right of inquiry in the DPR will roll on even though it takes time.

"If there is a statement, hold the statement. The habits of friends are shaken, try to make it a polemic. Right, it was said two Fridays ago," he said.
