JAKARTA - Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia for the 2004-2009 and 2014-2019 periods Muhammad Jusuf Kalla performed Eid prayers at the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta. Jusuf Kalla is grateful that two dates for the celebration of Eid al-Fitr 1444 H in Indonesia went smoothly.
"Alhamdulillah, the implementation of Eid al-Fitr this year went smoothly. People's tolerance even though there are two Eid al-Fitr but everything is going well," said Jusuf Kalla at the Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta, Saturday, April 22.
It is known that the government through the Ministry of Religion set 1 Syawal 1444 Hijriah or Eid al-Fitr 2023 to fall on Saturday 22 April, while the Muhammadiyah mass organization stated 1 Syawal 1444 Hijriah on Friday 21 April so that some Muslims had already performed Eid prayers.
Apart from JK, state leaders who also performed Eid prayers at the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta include Vice President Ma'ruf Amin, TNI Commander Admiral Yudo Margono, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court HM Syarifuddin, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Arifin Tasrief, Minister of Trade Zulkifli Hasan, Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno, Deputy Minister of Religion Zainut Tauhid Sa'adi to former Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan.
"There is a desire in the mosque that is crowded, tarawih is crowded, this is crowded, this indicates that during the last three years the community did not have a chance," Kalla added.
Jusuf Kalla, who is also the General Chair of the Indonesian Mosque Council (DMI), said that this year's Eid has no political content.

"Yes, it is Lebaran that unites people, not here, what party or party," said Kalla.

"That is of course the authority of the PDIP itself and we respect that," said Kalla.
