Nationalism was not created from the behavior of mutual recrimination, not to blame each other, not to get rid of with each other
"Nationalism was not created from the behavior of mutual recrimination, not to blame each other, not to get rid of with each other," said Jokowi while conveying the message of National Awakening Day (Harkitnas) from Communications and Information Minister, Tifatul Sembiring, at IRTI Monas Field, Gambir, South Jakarta, Tuesday (5/20).
Vesak, Buddhists Pray for City’s DevelopmentHe who became a toastmaster in the commemoration of National Awakening Day uttered, the nationalism commitment which is a measure to know the extent of initiative, creativity and work in Indonesia, has given power to create the harmonious of citizens in society, nation and state.
In line with the development of the current situation, according to him, Indonesian people should be able to be aware and smart in dealing with various changes, instead of careless.
"This is the true meaning of nationalism that we must sustain for the establishment of sovereign independence. This is because the independence revolution that builds nationalism is indiscriminate," told Jokowi.
