TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – The co-founder of the Institute for Security and Strategic Studies (ISESS), Khairul Fahmi, said that the statement made by the Commander of the Jayakarta Military Region alias Pangdam Jaya, Major General TNI Dudung Abdurachman, who said that he would dissolve the Defenders Front Islamic (FPI), was not correct. In terms of function, Khairul emphasized, TNIs cannot dissolve mass organizations.
“The removal of billboards is a matter of law enforcement (as to legality it is a matter of the local Satpol PP, as to its content if it violates the law, it is a matter of police), while the matter of dissolving the FPI is a political area, “said Khairul when contacted on Sunday, November 22, 2020.
He doubted that the decision to remove the billboards in support of FPI Grand Imam Rizieq Shihab was a personal initiative of Pangdam Jaya. He saw the action as a series of events and narratives constructed by the TNI Commander in the last week or so.
“This means that it could be done under the direction and orders of the management,” he said.
He viewed Dudung’s statement by emphasizing the nuances of the past, which still presented TNI as arrogant, intimidating and showed other institutions to be weak. Khairul emphasized that TNIs must still be reminded not to go too far in the political space beyond their mandate, which could threaten democracy, civil supremacy, human rights and legal provisions.
“However, there is always an entry point for TNIs to get involved in the affairs of state administration. But the keyword is state policy. As long as there are state policies and political decisions underlying them, yes, it is safe for the state. TNI, “he said.
