Member of Commission III of the House of Representatives Nasir Djamil responded to the explosion that occurred at the SMA Negeri 72 Mosque in Jakarta, West Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta. Nasir suspects that there are parties who deliberately want to play with fire and pit between religious communities.

Moreover, according to him, there have been no cases of explosions that have occurred in a school environment, except at SMAN 72 Kelapa Gading.

"It is reasonable to suspect that there seem to be parties who want to play with fire and pit between religious believers in the explosion case at the high school.

"In my memory, there have never been any cases of explosions in the school complex mosque, except at SMAN 72," said Nasir Djamil when contacted by VOI, Friday, November 7.

Nasir also asked the government and law enforcement officials to immediately investigate the mastermind behind the explosion incident. He also asked the authorities to explain the motive for the action.

"We ask that there be an official explanation from the government regarding who and what is the motivation of the perpetrators to carry out these acts of terror. Is he part of a terrorist network or 'her own weapon'," said Nasir.

According to the member of the commission in charge of the law, the explanation of the authorities is very important for the public to know in order to cause calm. Especially for school students who experience trauma after the incident.

Nasir assessed that the terror act of the explosion at this school was a warning to the government and law enforcement officials to increase vigilance and security ahead of the 2026 Christmas and New Year celebrations.

"On the one hand, we admit that this act of terror makes us seem like a mistake. But on the other hand, it is also a kind of warning to the state, to be aware of the networks of terrorism or criminal groups that are allegedly wanted to disrupt domestic security ahead of Christmas and the new year," concluded the PKS legislator from the Aceh electoral district.
