West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil (RK) believes that the statement by Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud Md contributed to the crowd-related chaos that ensued after Habib Rizieq Shihab returned to Indonesia. . What is Mahfud’s statement that is being challenged by Ridwan Kamil?
Mahfud made that statement on November 9, 2020, to be precise the day before Habib Rizieq arrived in Indonesia. Through a video, Mahfud talks about the return of Habib Rizieq.
According to him, Habib Rizieq has the right to return to Indonesia. This is because Habib Rizieq is an Indonesian Citizen (WNI).
“Regarding Habib Rizieq’s return plan tomorrow, Tuesday 10, the government considers that the return of Habib Rizieq is a right that must be protected, because we also gave him the right to leave, not because we asked to leave,” said Mahfud.
“Now we want to go home, we give him the right to go home, because he is a citizen whose rights must be protected. He (Rizieq) has legal rights and also legal obligations like all other citizens. So the same,” he continued.
Mahfud, in his statement, then invited the public to pick up Habib Rizieq at the Soekarno-Hatta (Soetta) airport. However, the former president of the Constitutional Court (MK) recalled that he must maintain order.
“Please answer, but neatly, harmoniously and peacefully as Habib Rizieq recommends. So if they make a fuss, they make a riot, we won’t consider you the follower of Habib Rizieq. If Habib Rizieq’s followers must be good, definitely a moral revolution, “said Mahfud.
Furthermore, Mahfud hopes that the authorities will not go overboard in maintaining the security of Habib Rizieq’s return. Mahfud advised that all be well until Habib Rizieq got home.
And I hope the apparatus does not overdo it either, consider this as a regular thing. Only, because there is an escalation of welcoming people, the guard should be increased, but without exaggeration, without repressive actions. Everything must be properly guarded until Habib Rizieq arrived at his residence safe and sound, “said Mahfud.
