JAKARTA – Former TNI Commander General (retired) Gatot Nurmantyo emphasized that the accusations by the regional military commander, Major General TNI Dudung Abdurachman, were false. This is related to the pilgrimage and flower planting activities at the Kalibata Heroes Cemetery (TMP) in South Jakarta, which is the agenda of the Coalition for Action to Save Indonesia (WE).
Gatot and the retired Guardian of State Sovereignty (PPKN) chaired by Vice Admiral (retired) Suharto, he said, wanted to make a pilgrimage and plant flowers to pray for the heroes of the Revolution in commemoration of 30S / PKI. However, Gatot admitted that instead, the masses protested him and felt that he was being blocked by the Dandim Colonel of South Jakarta in Ucu Yustia.
“I see Mr. Pangdam. WE are not there. We only have me, Professor Wahab and Mr. Ahmad Yani. Nothing else. I say, it’s a big lie, don’t talk like that,” Gatot was quoted as saying from tvOne on Friday, October 2, 2020.
He admitted that he was invited by Vice Admiral (Purn) Suharto as president of PPKN to become Inspector of Ceremonies (Irup) on a pilgrimage and plant flowers as a tribute to heroes, especially revolutionary heroes at TMP Kalibata on Wednesday 30 September 2020.
Gatot is known to have refused to become inspector of the ceremony. In fact, Gatot suggested that Suharto be the inspector of the ceremony because he was the president of PPKN. However, Gatot also inquired about the TNI Garrison permit and was told that the permitting process already exists.
“Did I ask if you had permission for the garrison? Pak Harto said that the authorization process for the garrison was already there. So if you have, ask all the officers for the garrison ceremony. I was both the teacher Wahab to join the ceremony at the TMP Kalibata Plaza to honor the spirits, lay flower offerings, reverence and pilgrimage, ”he said.
When he arrived at the scene, Gatot admitted that he was shocked and confused because there were so many people. In fact, he said, there were TNI and Polri agents on duty. In fact, during his time as a soldier and dozens of times participating in ceremonies at the TMP, there were never many soldiers and police officers there.
“I want to go in and when I want to go together Pak Harto, stopped by Pak Dandim. I ask him, why is it like this? We are going on a pilgrimage to the garden of the grave of a hero who is a hero of the revolution. You as a soldier have the oath of the warrior Sapta Marga, “he said. he.
Then Gatot emphasized that yesterday’s pilgrimage and flower planting activities were all retired. At the time, Gatot was even wearing a black beret. But seeing many commandos (Army), he finally also wore a red beret.
“I was just a guest. Coincidentally what the Dandim were facing, so I stepped forward because I was also from the Army so there would be no misunderstandings and we would follow them. We plan to have 30 pilgrimages, once 30 lines, screaming Covid-19 immediately fired. Is PPKN a terrorist organization? A banned organization? “he said.
TNI Major General Dudung Abdurachman of Pangdam Jaya said South Jakarta’s Kodim gave General (retired) Gatot Nurmantyo permission with the PPKN entourage to make a pilgrimage and plant flowers for a limited number of 30 people in TMP Kalibata on September 30, 2020.
During the planting of flowers, unexpectedly there were several people who took steps to come out for the United States (Coalition for Action to Save Indonesia). “But unexpectedly, there were some who took advantage of the situation to testify, support the United States and touch on government policy issues,” Dudung said.
