Beware of Terrorism / Radicalism before the Inauguration of the President and Vice President
By: Dewi Widyasari) *
The threat from radical groups to thwart the inauguration of the President and Vice President is increasingly apparent, especially with the incidents of stabbings against Wiranto that always Coordinating Minister for Politics and Security Who was stabbed by Abu Rara during a work visit in Banten.
Perpetrators of the stabbing, allegedly a terrorist group from the Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) network. Budi Gunawan as Head of the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) acknowledged that he had detected a group that wanted to disrupt Jokowi’s and Ma’ruf Amin’s inauguration as President and Vice President for the 2019-2024 Period.
Budi also gave a signal, that the stabbing of Wiranto was a series of efforts in disrupting the situation, especially in the threat ahead of the inauguration on 20 October 2019.
However, Budi had difficulty detecting the JAD movement because the group moved with small groups. For this reason, the former deputy police chief requested that the community participate in overseeing JAD seeds in their respective neighborhoods.
In addition, police intelligence needs to monitor pockets of radicalism around Jabodetabek and hunt down funders of demonstrations who intend to thwart Jokowi’s inauguration as president on 20 October.
Of course it is undeniable, if there are groups who do not accept Jokowi-Ma’ruf’s inauguration as a group that fails to move on from the 2019 Presidential Election, when in fact both the KPU and the Constitutional Court, have decided that the winner of the Presidential Election is the Jokowi-Ma’ruf Amin pair 20 percent more ahead of the Prabowo-Sandiaga couple.
Losing or winning is certainly a consequence of the democratic party, anyone who advances must be ready to win and be ready to lose, but still have the spirit of a knight, not necessarily to act in violation of the law.
Naturally, many people were surprised by the group that failed to move on, which seemed to not accept the defeat of Prabowo-Sandiaga, even though we still remembered where Jokowi and Prabowo had held open reconciliation, and even Prabowo had met with Megawati in solemn atmosphere with Megawati-style fried rice diplomacy. The assimilation shows that outside politics, the Jokowi and Kubowo Prabowo camps are friends.
In addition to the stabbing of Wiranto, efforts to replace the inauguration were also done vaguely. Where the group mingled with students who were then carrying out the action took to the streets to criticize a number of controversial bills.
Of course students do not want the action to be infiltrated. Including from those who want to frustrate the inauguration. This means that the group that wants to thwart Jokowi’s inauguration only utilizes the political momentum raging from the series of student actions.
Meanwhile, Haidar Alwi, who is the Person in Charge of the Jokowi Volunteer Alliance (ARJ), urged the police to immediately dismantle the mastermind behind the demonstrations that led to anarchism before the presidential inauguration for the 2019-2024 period.
Haidar rate, currently President Jokowi is in a desperate condition. Although Jokowi-Ma’ruf Amin has been legally constitutional as a participant in the Presidential Election who was elected as President and Vice President.
Although the former Mayor of Surakarta already has the legality of the vote last April. But the group of riders of the anarchist actions will continue to shake Jokowi.
He also added, ARJ was still loyal and solid in upholding the constitution by referring to the Pancasila of the 1945 Constitution, Unity in Diversity and consistently maintaining the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).
Senior politician Ruhut Sitompul suspects that there are still some supporters of Prabowo Subianto who have not moved on after the presidential election. They are ‘old people’ who have a tendency to cross with Jokowi.
He said, there were still ripples that did not accept the victory of Jokowi-Ma’ruf to try to disrupt the stability and the inauguration of the two on 20 October.
Ruhut believes, they are not supporters of Prabowo-Sandiaga but groups that are suspected as stowaways of democracy. Like organizations that so far have tended to damage the stability of the country’s security and have an understanding that is at odds with Pancasila.
The vigilance of the abolition efforts ahead of the inauguration is absolutely necessary, therefore we should not all be provoked by the utterances of several groups who could not accept the results of the election a few months ago.
