The courage to build tolerance in the capital is like my experience in Blitar
"The courage to build tolerance in the capital is like my experience in Blitar," he stated, Thursday (1/21).
He went the say on that, when he was serving as Mayor of Blitar, he faced disputes between the Madurese with Blitar residents. However, it was resolved due to population tolerance.
Djarot Asked Student to Fight Radicalism"In front of thousands of people, I said no more bloodshed again! If you still looking the Madurese, we are one on one, or I will fight you all," he recalls that moment.
He realized, to grow tolerance is not easy, yet it needs to be learned and conducted in daily life.
