After Tabligh Akbar PA 212 in January, former MPR Chair Amien Rais claimed to have seen tens of thousands of national people gather to convey their aspirations. He also said that the wave of desire to replace the President was very strong and could not be stopped.
Amien Rais also gave a warning to President Jokowi regarding the case which profited Slamet Ma’arif’s name, he said “What is Jokowi, what do you want?”
Amien Rais’s statement also raised questions from the Presidential Chief of Staff, Ali Mochtar Ngabalin, he questioned why everything was always associated with President Jokowi.
“Why did he use diction like threatening the president? As a senior like Mr. Amien Rais, why is it always related to palace intervention, presidential intervention, government intervention at all times? That is an ordinary legal process, “he said
Ali Mochtar Ngabalin also asked Amien Rais not to issue a statement that misled the public. Because according to him, Slamet’s examination at Surakarta City Police Station was in accordance with the applicable mechanism and there was no intervention from Jokowi or the government.
This is also a big question for Jokowi TKN – Ma’ruf Amin who is still confused because the senior politician from the PAN National Mandate Party continues to attack the incumbent presidential candidate.
Irma Suryani Chaniago as the spokesperson for Jokowi – Ma’uf TKN revealed, “Sorry, I, as a regular citizen, ask Mr. Amien Rais, what do you want, Father? How come you always talk harshly to the President? What’s wrong with you? “
Irma also reminded that President Joko Widodo had never once replied to Amien’s words even though he was as rude as what he said. According to him, this was a form of Jokowi’s respect for senior figures.
Irma also added that Amien Rais should have felt embarrassed because every statement and statement from Amien Rais had never received a response from Joko Widodo. This is because he respects Amien Rais as a senior politician who is already old.
He also said he was confused about Amien Rais’s attitude. If all this time, members of the Board of Trustees of BPN Prabowo – Sandi always questioned the issue of law enforcement, why if there were litigants they did not want to follow the legal process.
He also asked the former Chairperson of the MPR for self-introspection. The DPR member also hoped that Amien Rais would not continue to throw allegations at Jokowi.
Ahead of the General Election, Amien Rais often made statements that made the public frown, almost all the problems in Indonesia were always associated with President Jokowi’s leadership, giving rise to the impression that all the problems in Indonesia were Jokowi’s fault.
