Acting Jakarta Governor Basuki ‘Ahok’ T Purnama plans to send a recommendation letter containing dissolution of the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) to the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights. Such a thing is recommended because FPI’s rallies often ended chaotic.
If they (FPI) mess with us, we’ll prepare a (dissolution recommendation) letter to Justice and Human Rights Ministry
“If they (FPI) mess with us, we’ll prepare a (dissolution recommendation) letter to Justice and Human Rights Ministry,” asserted Ahok after he became the inspector in National Heroes Day ceremony at IRTI Monas Field, Monday (11/10).
According to Ahok, he allows FPI to hold rally as long as they obey the rules. Nevertheless, he also reminds them to hold rally orderly without anarchy action.
Ahok Instructs Police to Find Out the Funder of FPI's Rally“That is democratic right (holding rally). They reject me, I could reject them. It’s natural in democratic nature,” he said.
Based on beritajakarta.com observations, thousands of FPI members once again hold rally in front of Jakarta City Council (DPRD) building, Jalan Kebon Sirih, Central Jakarta, since around 10.30 AM. City Police Chief Ir. Gen. Unggung Cahyono is seen monitoring the rally in front of DPRD building.
Hundreds of policemen and Satpol PP personnel equipped with helmets, shields, and beater sticks are put on standby in the location. In addition, there are also two units of barracuda and water cannon stationed in front of DPRD building to anticipate the occurrence of anarchy action.
Thus far, the rally is still ongoing. Despite drizzle starting to fall, FPI mass is still orating to reject Ahok becoming Jakarta Governor.
