The order of the Commander of the Jaya Regional Military Command (Pangdam Jaya) Major General Dudung Abdurachman for his soldiers to remove the billboards from Habib Rizieq was controversial. However, Dudung was not on the loose even though he faced many controversies.

“There are other institutions that have more authority to put this in order,” the vice chairman of Commission I of the Gerindra Bambang Kristiono faction of the Party, told reporters on Friday (11/20).

PKS also has the same attitude. PKS DPR Commission I Vice Chairman Abdul Kharis Almasyhari suggested that the issue of billboard removal should be left to Satpol PP alone. TNI does not need to step in to complete the job.
“The billboards are part of Satpol PP, which is Satpol PP’s business. For example, it is fine if the army is involved, but by its nature help is requested,” he said when contacted on Friday (11/20).
