GP Ansor Asks Minister Of Religion Yaqut's Speech About "Dog Barking" Not To Be Twisted

JAKARTA - Head of PP GP Ansor Luqman Hakim views that there is nothing wrong with the statement of the Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Coumas regarding the need for rules for using loudspeakers or toa in mosques and prayer rooms.

As well as the words of Minister of Religion Yaqut who said loud voices could disturb the peace of society by exemplifying the sound of "dog barking".

According to the Deputy Secretary General of the PKB DPP, anything that has the potential to disturb the peace of the community must be regulated so as not to create social disharmony. Because according to Luqman, it is one of the government's tasks.

"So, I hope that Gus Yaqut's statement does not have to be twisted or stir-fried to cause a commotion," said Luqman when contacted by VOI, Thursday, February 24. The Deputy Chairman of Commission II of the DPR assessed that those who took issue with Gus Yaqut's statement were simply seeking attention, social promotion and lack of work. Especially if you want to take the matter to the police.

"The more it reads, the motive is just seeking attention. There's nothing wrong with wanting to report it to the police. However, if there is someone who doesn't have a job and wants to report Gus Yaqut to the police, go ahead. That's fine. feel happy, I invite you. Isn't making other people happy a worship?," said Luqman.
