JAKARTA - PPP responded to the attitude of the Head of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Agency (BP2MI) Benny Rhamdani who asked President Joko Widodo's blessing to fight in the field against government attackers.
Deputy Chairperson of PPP Arsul Sani assessed that Benny's idea had the potential to make noise. PPP actually invites all supporters and volunteers of Jokowi to keep the rest of this period government conducive. "PPP invites all elements of Pak Jokowi's supporters to maintain the rest of this government with the conduciveness of social life. Respond well to those who are called outrageous groups," said Arsul, Tuesday, November 29.
Arsul reminded that those who are against the current government should be embraced, not handled wisely, thus triggering division.
"It is better for all elements supporting the Jokowi-Kiai Ma'ruf Amin government, both in coalition political parties and volunteer groups, to promote an attitude of uniting all elements of society. Including those who are still developing opposing attitudes towards this government," said Arsul.
He again reminded Jokowi's supporters and volunteers to show more maturity in democracy than readiness to compete physically and with strength. A measurable response, said Arsul, would erode divisions in society.
"Converse attitudes that are sometimes disproportionate do not need to be faced with disproportionate attitudes either, because instead of solving the problem of division, they widen divides," he said.
Moreover, Arsul said that currently the level of public satisfaction with Jokowi's performance tends to be high. Therefore, fighting against parties who do not like the government will actually increase the group's hatred.
"The high level of public satisfaction with the government shows that those who are disproportionately opposed do not sell well to the majority of our people," said Arsul. Previously, extensive video clips circulated showing the Head of BP2MI Benny Rhamdani enthusiastically asking for his blessing in front of Jokowi so that he could fight in the field with parties who are against the government.
"We are the winners in the presidential election, sir, we are big. But this opponent attack is still ongoing, the advice is to amplify your success programs. Second, we are excited that you want to fight them. If you want to fight our field, we will have more," said Benny in the viral video.
Benny asked for Jokowi's permission when the two of them attended the United Nusantara Movement at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, South Jakarta, Saturday, November 26.
Not long after Benny gave clarification. He said his words in the viral video were illustrations when law enforcement to bring order to the group did not work.
"It's just a picture, an illustration, that if law enforcement doesn't work, our intimacy and anger can be done in this way (attacking on the field). How come we can't go down to the streets? That's just a message, but what we are pushing is law enforcement," said Benny, Monday, November 28.
Even so, Benny assessed that the video clips circulating did not show a complete statement. He said, conveying aspirations to Jokowi was also not a closed meeting.
"So it's not a closed event, but I'm sure the video is an incomplete video. If it's intact, it should be the whole thing, from the first to the finish in approximately 40 minutes. It should be published in full and conveying aspirations, views of problems, suggestions, suggestions, to the president. Not only me, "said Benny.
According to Benny, although the Jokowi government has shortcomings, criticize not to be too late so that it attacks. For example, he said, slandering the government, throwing hate speech, pitting ethnic groups and religions, spreading false news, even defaming the name of the president and the nation's mother. "We highlight this national journey. This is no longer a criticism, look at the ways they have been doing so far, attempts to delegitize, bring down government. Always with the same pattern, spread of hatred, slander, fighting between tribes and religions, hoax news and even defamation of state symbols, presidents, nation's mothers," explained Benny.
