Motorbike Convoy Brings Posters 'Welcoming The Awakening Of The Khilafah Islamiyah' Viral, Polda Metro: We Will Call Them!

JAKARTA - The actions of a number of motorcyclists who wrote their support for the establishment of the caliphate went viral on social media. In the video footage circulating, the majority of drivers wear green clothes, unfurl a white flag and support the caliphate.

One of the posters attached to the back seat of the motorbike reads 'Welcome the revival of the Islamic caliphate. 'This viral video has apparently reached the ears of the police.

The Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan said the video was taken on one of the roads in the East Jakarta area. In the process, investigators will look for the parties in the video.

"We will first look for data on the drivers who appear in the video, of course we will also call them. We will also ask for their purpose," explained Zulpan at the Metro Jaya Police Headquarters, Jakarta, Monday, May 30.

Investigators will also provide education to them so as not to deviate. However, calls such as the establishment of a caliphate in the country are not in accordance with the provisions of the law.

"It is not justified because this is not in accordance with the provisions of the regulations and also what is stipulated in our legislation that the Indonesian nation is not based on a caliphate,"

"So the Polda Metro Jaya will of course explore the video because we have received data that it happened in the East Jakarta area," said Zulpan.

The viral video was uploaded by social media activist Yusuf Muhammad on his Twitter account, @yusuf_dumdum. In his tweet, Yusuf asked the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit, to 'brush out' these bandits.

But now a group of people are left free to want to undermine this country. Please make Mr. @ListyoSigitP never be afraid to brush off all these bandits. cc @CCICPolri @mohmahfudmd @jokowi pic.twitter.com/dprWlMY0Gf
