By: Rebecca Marian) *
The inauguration of Jokowi-Ma’ruf as President and Vice-President of 2019-2024 became a crucial and concluding moment for the 2019 Election series. Therefore, all elements of society are encouraged to give their role to support the creation of a conducive situation and participate in the successful inauguration process.
Support for the inauguration of Jokowi-Ma’ruf on 20 October 2019 continues to arrive from various parties. Starting from sympathizers to the previous opposition. Unmitigated security forces were ready to support, escort and secure the inauguration process for less than a week. It is not easy to unite all elements of society to provide support related to inauguration. Bearing in mind, there are still a number of parties who are trying to intervene in this state agenda.
The number of cases of indications of attempts at rioting until the overthrow of a legitimate Government are busy rolling. Persons spreading riots as if tirelessly looking for loopholes. What is sought, the unity and unity of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia to the Vacuum of Power. However, there is always a rainbow after the storm, little by little news of support coming like a flood, without being able to weir.
One of them is from the Regional Representative Council (DPD) of the Indonesian Youth National Committee (KNPI) in Sidoarjo Regency. Which invites youth organizations as well as all members of the community, especially Sidoarjo, to jointly maintain order and the conducivity of the region. The statement was delivered by Ridho Prasetyo, as Chairman of the KNPI DPD Sidoharjo. This was done to prepare for the inauguration which only had to count the days.
Ridho also added, if KNPI is present in the middle of the community, has a great task and responsibility in the life of the nation as well as the state. He considered, Youth is a knot of diversity that is the spearhead in maintaining security and comfort in society, even with the nation and state.
He admitted that the role of youth has a crucial role in overseeing the development process in each region, including Sidoharjo. He explained that development in the regions would make the community more prosperous. Moreover, the local government also welcomes young people to contribute to the advancement of the region.
Other support from students and activists of the PMII Branch Coordinator (Indonesian Islamic Student Movement. They are organizations from South Kalimantan, which have expressed their commitment to maintain conduciveness ahead of the inauguration, when they met with the Police Chief Inspector General Yazid Fanani.
The Chairperson of the South Kalimantan PMII PKC, Khairul Umam, expressed his opinion to a number of journalists after meeting the Kapolda at the South Kalimantan Mapold Monitoring Center. According to him, the action that sought the overthrow of the President and the inauguration of his inauguration, he considered only a sensation. Therefore, he continued to oversee the student movement so as not to deviate from the spirit of idealism and to defend the interests of the community.
He also appealed to his fellow students to remain cautious about “stowaways” who came from individuals who deliberately followed up rallies in their interests. He also hoped that the security forces acted decisively or hunted down these elements. The positive-wing commitment from the students was also appreciated by the Chief of Police Yazid Fanani. According to him, maintaining a safe and conducive situation is indeed the responsibility of all elements and also citizens, including students.
The Head of the Regional Police admitted that if the students were aware of and were concerned that all this time the demonstration had taken place, there were certain groups that had infiltrated, which deliberately created the situation into a conducive act. Therefore, the students visited the Regional Police to express their concern. Of course this is very appreciated and proud of. Given, the openness and objectivity of these students. He also appealed for mutual support and mutual encouragement.
With regard to the escort, the Kapolda instructed the members in the field to keep the mass action from causing disruption to other communities. He also gave the mandate not to use weapons. Bearing in mind that this escort puts forward a humanitarian attitude and involves female police officers.
The PMII organization has cadres spread throughout Indonesia who will defend the nation, uphold religion and protect the Republic of Indonesia. It will also fortify cadres of intolerant understand viruses and radicalism. Because, PMII views the state as a unified frame of Unity in Diversity and also encourages Pancasila as an ideology of the nation. Which must be protected from disunity.
Maybe so much support is coming that it can’t be mentioned one by one. However, the point remains the same, let’s create a conducive situation to support and oversee the inauguration of the elected head of state and his representative, so that it will run smoothly without anyone intervening. If others have provided their support, how about you?
