It turns out that these activities are very contrary to Pancasila," said the Director of General Crime Investigation of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Hengki Haryadi in Lampung, Tuesday, June 7th.

Then, the group led by Abdul Qadir Baraja has media such as websites and YouTube accounts that are used to spread their ideology. In fact, they have a newsletter published every month.

Based on the results of analysts involving experts, all of the content submitted is considered to violate the Ormas Law and Article 14 paragraph 1 of Law No. 1 of 1946 regarding the spread of fake news that causes trouble.

"It turns out that there are very contradictory things from what was conveyed by the leaders of the Khilafathul Muslimin mass organization, both the high-ranking officials we have arrested and other officials in other areas who have stated that they are not against Pancasila," said Hengki.

Apart from that, Hengki stated that the current action was a shaking effect for other mass organizations. Thus, there are no more activities that are contrary to Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution.

"Therefore, this is the first step for us to follow up with organizations in other places that are part of this mass organization," said Hengki.
