Students must be wiser in conducting demonstrations because the momentum of student movement is often used by irresponsible parties as a tool in launching certain political agendas. Student action that should have a positive impact on the people of Indonesia is feared that it will lose its orientation and purpose if political interests interfere.
Mass and Online Media are now filled with news related to actions carried out by students during the past 10 days. Demonstrations carried out by thousands of times who came to Senayan consisted of groups of students, students, workers, and NGOs. The action was carried out simultaneously in various regions on 23 September 2019. These groups still consistently demand rejection of the ratification of the results of the revision of the KPK and the Criminal Code.
The action was an attempt to urge the DPR with various speeches, and the submission of opinions. The action cost a lot of money and energy, ranging from logistics preparation, transportation to medicines with the aim of voicing justice for the people of Indonesia. but the phenomenon of demonstration often ends in chaos and clashes
Anarchist action that occurred in the demonstration process was “ridden” by certain political interests that deliberately brought down the government. Menristekdikti Muhammad Nasir confirmed that some student actions were driven by political interests that some were moving students “I pay close attention, I have been monitoring since before preparation at this time. Because I also came. Come to students, what the heck are you demanding? I ask. You don’t know, come along, now there is someone who moves, “he said.
The statement of the Menristekdikti is not the origin of this matter which is indicated by the findings of the arrest of one of the lecturers of IPB by the Indonesian National Police that indicated being the person who planned the riot in the 212 Mujahid action by utilizing the momentum of the student movement on Saturday 28 September 2019. This was conveyed by the Karo Penmas of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Brig. Gen. Dedi Prasetyo “Currently the examination process is still developing. This AB recruited two people on behalf of S and OS. “This S has a role in finding people who have the ability to make bombs,” he said.
Responding to the demonstration that was ridden, the government has now taken preventive measures by detecting which groups are making efforts to utilize the momentum of mass actions for certain interests. According to Tjahjo Kumolo, those who tried to piggyback on student action have been detected. The party in question also infiltrated the action. “I think everything has been detected, including those taking part in the demonstration. Blend together with student demonstrations. Who are students and who are not students can be detected. For example via CCTV, video recordings, and others, “said Tjahjo Kumolo.
Do not because of differences of opinion that are actually used by those responsible for causing new problems, prolonged conflict and increasingly detrimental to the community. Regardless of whether or not the action is ridden by another party.
Students must always be vigilant in guarding the interests of the people not to act that should be able to help the community and change social order for the better it will cause conflict and chaos. Let us pursue the community to continue to improve literacy before going down the road as a wise effort to be carried out given the action has been delivered and the government has responded positively to student opinions.
