A number of people demonstrate at RK's home following Atalia's words about the Al Khoziny Islamic residence

Bandung -A number of Islamic students attacked the home of former Western Java -Governor Ridwan Kamil in Bandung City, West Java. They protested the words of the member of the Commission Viii DPR Ri Atalia Praratya, wife of Ridwan Kamil, who asked the government to revise the reconstruction of the Al Khoziny Sidoarjo Islamic boarding school with the help of the APBN. The students arrived at Ridwan Kamil’s home in the Cimbule Fellowship area at approximately 15.25 WIB by car and took a long march to the home of the former Governor of West Java. The protesters also carried banners and posters with claims. “His statement is sensitive to Islamic residences and students. The history of Indonesian civilization is a civilization run by Islamic residences,” the orator shouted at the place, as reported by Detikjabar. Browse to continue with the content coordinator of Greater Bandung Nusantara Santri Forum, Riki Ramdan Fadila, said that the action held today was a form of solidarity with the Al-Khoziny Islamic boarding school, whose legality is currently at stake by the state. “It started with an answer from the legislature who had a view or formed an opinion on Islamic residences in society by saying that there were perhaps serious offenses in the Al-Khoziny Islamic boarding school. It then created a bad view in society about the image of Islamic residences in the entire Indonesia,” Riki said. Riki said he compared it to Kanjuruhan tragedy, Malang, and other cases of serious human rights violation that took place in Indonesia when talking about serious offenses. The students also asked the Golkar Party chairman, Bahlil Lahadalia, to remove Atalia from her position as a member of the DPR RI. “We ask the general chairman of the Golkar party, Bahlil Lahadalia, to dismiss Ms. Atalia of her position as a member of the DPR RI because her statement caused a riot and is considered contrary to the principles of social justice and the Constitution,” he said. As previously reported, Atalia has urged the government to review the use of APBN funds to improve Al Khoziny Islamic boarding school, Sidoarjo. Atalia believes that the mechanism for the use of the APBN should be clear and fair. “The proposed use of the APBN should be reviewed very seriously, while the legal processes and future policies are fairer, more transparent and do not give rise to social jealousy,” Atalia told reporters last Friday (10/10).
