JAKARTA - The National Anti LGBT Movement (LGBT Movement) reported the Coordinating Ministry for Politics, Law and Security (Kemenkopolhukam) and the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) of the Republic of Indonesia regarding the Coldplay concert to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police Headquarters on Friday, November 10.

The report was made regarding the Coldplay concert which will be held at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) Senayan, Central Jakarta on Wednesday, November 15, next.

"Earlier we took action in front of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police Headquarters to report two ministries, the Ministry of Political, Legal and Security Affairs and the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy as well as the organizing committee. Obviously (they) have violated the existing laws in Indonesia," said Buya Husein, Korlap Geranati LGBT in the Horse Statue area, Monas, Central Jakarta, Friday, November 10.

The two ministries were reported to the National Police Headquarters because they were considered to have violated the existing laws in Indonesia. First, continued Buya Husein, in Pancasila in the first precept that our country in Pancasila contains God Almighty.

"It is emphasized in the 1945 Constitution article 29 paragraph 1 where the state is based on the One Godhead," he said in an action against Coldplay's concert.

Then it is emphasized in Article 31 paragraph (3) which reads: The government seeks and implements a national education system, which increases faith and piety and noble morals in order to educate the nation's life, which is regulated by law.

"Therefore, all understandings and actions that oppose the principles of One Godhead must be prohibited because they are automatically contrary to Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution, including LGBT. LGBT is very detrimental to morals and undermines the moral character of the younger generation in Indonesia," he said.

Buya Husein added that the Geranati LGBT action was the first action to be carried out. His party will continue to hold demonstrations if the Coldplay concert continues.

"The LGBT movement took action against the arrival of Coldplay music groups. The LGBT is very detrimental to morals," he said.
