Fadli Zon/DOK ANTARA

JAKARTA - Densus 88 Anti-terror stated that it would study all inputs related to the task of eradicating acts of terrorism.

Including, Fadli Zon's statement about the work of Densus 88, which is actually busy developing an Islamophobic narrative in the country.

"We will study it," said Head of Banops Densus 88 Kombes Aswin Siregar when confirmed, Wednesday, October 6.

However, Aswin did not elaborate on the follow-up in question. To be sure, Densus 88 thanked Fadli Zon for the information.

"Thanks for the information," said Aswin.

Previously, Gerindra Party politician Fadli Zon had expressed his surprise at the work of Densus 88 which was busy developing an Islamophobic narrative. In fact, the priority of handling terrorists that clearly oppose the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia has never been completely resolved.

"Separatist terrorists who clearly challenge Indonesia should be the priority but cannot be handled. Don't always develop an Islamophobic narrative that can divide the nation," said Fadli through a tweet on his Twitter account, @fadlizon quoted on Wednesday, October 6th.

The tasks of dealing with terrorism, suggested Fadli, should be handed over to the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT). Because too many institutions are involved in these cases.

"In my opinion, there are too many institutions dealing with terrorism. It should be @BNPTRI," explained the member of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives.
