Jakarta, the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) denied making efforts to cancel Anies’ declaration in various regions. This denial was conveyed by BIN Deputy-VII for Communication and Information, Prabawa Ajie, Thursday (22/12/2022).
“It is not true that BIN is carrying out activities to cancel Anies’ declaration in various regions. This accusation is slander that is deliberately spread by certain parties who are not responsible for discrediting BIN and the National Police, as well as the Government, said Deputy-VII BIN.
Lately, leaflets or flyers have been circulating on social media showing the face of the Head of BIN, General (Purn) Prof.Dr. Budi Gunawan, S.H., M.Sc. and National Police Chief Gen. Listyo Sigit Prabowo. The flyer reads ‘BIN and Polri Move to Cancel Anis Declaration Events in Various Regions’.
