jpnn.com, JAKARTA – DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan met with Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) High Priest Muhammad Rizieq Shihab in Petamburan, Central Jakarta on Tuesday evening (11/10).
Indonesian Ulema Council Deputy General Secretary (MUI) Tengku Zulkarnain, who was also present, mentioned that Anies’ meeting with Rizieq took place after Isha’s prayers.
Tengku uploaded a photo of the meeting between the DKI Jakarta Governor and the FPI leadership on his Instagram account.
In the uploaded photo titled “The Meeting of the Four Friends”, Anies Baswedan is seen sitting on the far left, Rizieq Shihab on the right, followed by Tengku and Hanif Al-Athos (Rizieq’s son-in-law) sitting on the rightmost.
Tengku admitted that Anies and Rizieq stopped missing each other while drinking tea and there was no discussion leading to political elements.
“Nothing, just having tea together, letting go of longing, the name of friends, good health, that’s happy,” Tengku said.
The reason was, he said, that Anies did not want to upset Rizieq, who was probably still tired after returning from a long eight-hour drive from Saudi Arabia to Jakarta plus from the airport to his residence for about six hours.
So, he continued, the meeting was relatively short, only about an hour.
