Budhi also apologized to the people of Tapanuli who have the Pandjaitan clan, for calling them tailors. He admitted that he did not know the Tapanuli clan and only understood it later.

"To all Tapanuli residents, we have no bad intentions to insult anyone. But forgive me for my limitations, my abilities and my weaknesses, so I ask for your sincere forgiveness," said Budhi.

"I have no intention of insulting. If I am considered insulting, I am ready to be condemned by anything," he said.

On this occasion, he also thanked Luhut for the order to run a social safety net for handling COVID-19 in Banjarnegara. Because this program is very useful for its citizens.
