Deputy Chairman of Commission I of the DPR from the PDIP faction, Utut Adianto, proposed the establishment of a TNI Netrality Working Committee (Panja) to anticipate and supervise the TNI so as not to carry out practical politics in the upcoming 2024 election.

The proposal was conveyed by Utut in a joint working meeting with the TNI Commander Admiral Yudo Margono, Army Chief of Staff General TNI Agus Subiyanto, KSAU Marshal TNI Fadjar Prasetyo, and KSAL Admiral TNI Muhammad Ali, Tuesday, November 7.

"Mrs. have permission, if we are pleased with me from the leadership table. If we are willing to maintain the dignity of the DPR, make a Panja Netrality TNI. So while we are busy as legislative candidates, we are making supervision," said Utut in the meeting room of Commission I DPR.

According to the chairman of the PDIP faction in the DPR, the formation of the TNI's Panja Netrality is important to avoid intervention from President Joko Widodo to high-ranking TNI officials.

"So in short, I mean the TNI Commander. But the most difficult thing is from the chief of staff and commander if the president gives orders. Army from childhood (trained) to be upright to superiors," he said.

Although Utut believes that all TNI officials will be neutral in the 2024 election, he believes that the TNI's Netrality Committee still needs to be formed to maintain national security stability.

"We respect Mr. Yudo, a good person, Mr. KSAL is a good person. These are all good people. We don't want our sovereignty to be disturbed. We don't want the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia to break down, we don't want this Republic to be built by the nation's predecessors with tears, and you are the main pillars. Therefore, (TNI Netrality Working Committee) is part of preventing it from being tarnished. The familyapta of the father guard," explained Utut.

Meanwhile, Chairman of Commission I of the House of Representatives, Meutya Hafid, said that his party would discuss further Utut's proposal. Meutya agreed that the formation of the TNI's Netrality Working Committee as long as its goal was indeed for the Republic of Indonesia.

"I think we will discuss it later, but indeed everyone agrees, sir. If this is for the Republic of Indonesia, we will make a Panja later. We will discuss it internally later, as well as mechanismally choosing the leadership of the committee and membership," said Meutya.
