The rejection of the 212th Reunion that was rolled out by most parties was not without reason. The MUI opinion is true, because in Reunion 212 there are still discussions regarding political issues. In addition to being vulnerable to being infiltrated by stowaways, the public is certainly worried that Reunion 212 will add to the horror of traffic jams in Jakarta on Monday morning.
The 212 Alumni (PA) Brotherhood insists on wanting to carry out the 212 Reunion on December 2, 2019. The implementation of the Reunion seems to be supported by the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, following the issuance of permits for these activities. The issuance of the permit would at least make the committee a little big-headed. The reason is, this permit made FPI’s high priest fans, continue to roar so that HRS would be sent home. They claimed that this FPI frontman would fill the event at the annual miss. No doubt, there is an impression HRS wants to go home.
Rizieq Shihab is not it if it stops reaping controversy. If last year alone was able to roll out the issue to undermine the leadership of President Jokowi to demand that he step down from office, it is not impossible if in this reunion there will be the same breakthrough. Because it was clear that the request for help returning from the “streets” as a guest of honor in Saudi Arabia alone had to corner the government by boosting various gossip.
Habib’s efforts to seek attention also did not stop there, he was clever to fight his tongue to the point of playing a victim. Starting from the allegations of banning, the repatriation effort was complicated, or the appointment of two pieces of evidence trending the topic. Which is clearly no truth. In fact, the Directorate General of Immigration has confirmed that this is not true.
Logically, the return asked to be paid but in ways that were distorted and seemed very rushed to raise various questions. What would the controversial priest do at the 212 miss on the 2nd December?
The news of this political motivation was reflected when the Chairman of the 212th reunion committee, Awit Mansyuri. If the reunion will take the theme of prayer and salvation for the country. In which there is an act of prayer asking to avoid the elements of religious blasphemers. He considered if in Indonesia alone there were still many such persons. If you pay attention, Awit’s statement has indicated an indication in the direction of politics. Whereas before, this reunion would carry out the Prophet’s Birthday agenda, right? Then should religious values be accompanied by worldly political issues? Many people argue that the agenda of the Prophet’s Birthday should be carried out according to the real religious law. Don’t confuse it. So there is no perception that triggers the unrest of the people of Indonesia.
Praying is certainly a good thing, but gathering a number of masses without a clear purpose will certainly only be redundant, which in religion is not allowed to be done. It has been a waste of time, funds because most of the participants come from outside the Capital Region. Those who had participated in the previous 212 actions felt called.
If a pure reunion is only a joint prayer and commemorating the birthday of the Prophet, it can be done in each area. However, if you have to gather, the name 212 should be removed. Because, this will still be a polemic, related to the assumptions of the participants. Add to this a long list of controversial issues made by Habib Rizieq regarding the government of the Republic of Indonesia.
Uniquely, the Secretary General of GNPF-U Edy Mulyadi has conveyed the message of Habib Rizieq Shihab from abroad who appealed to whiten Jakarta during the reunion on 2 December. Even though the Head of the Kesbangpol DKI Jakarta, Taufan Bakri, said that his party would still discuss in the meeting about licensing the use of Monas for the event. So what is the urgency of this 212th Reunion?
