MATARAM - Military Resort Commander (Danrem) 162/Wira Bhakti (WB) Brigadier General Sudarwo Aris Nurcahyo spoke about the statement of DPR Commission I member Effendi Simbolon.

During a working meeting between Commission I of the DPR and the Ministry of Defense and the TNI recently, the PDI-P politician called 'the TNI is like gangs and community organizations alias mass organizations'.

"We deeply regret that words like this should not be appropriate for a state official or a representative of the people," he said during a gathering with the TNI's extended family (KBT) at the Sudirman Korem Hall 162/WB, Mataram, quoted from Antara, Thursday 15 September.

He also stated that the TNI had never been divided or remained solid and solid.

"We all know that the TNI was born from the people and for the people. If ES (Effendi Simbolon) is the son of a soldier then there should be no need to mention the sentence," he said.

Danrem 162/WB added, ahead of the political year, statements that can cause friction in the community should be avoided. The potential for friction can also reduce because each other has a different view.

"We hope that this kind of thing will cause divisions within the organizational body, more or less a year we will enter the political year. Where people are in different situations from one another," he explained.

"Therefore, to all KBT to maintain good friendship, plant it in our hearts so that the presence of the TNI remains solid for the sake of the Indonesian people," said Danrem 162/WB.

In the gathering ceremony with KBT, Danlanal Mataram, Danlanud ZAM, Kasrem 162, 162 Pasi Korem, veteran representatives, and FKPPI were also present.
