The Regional Leadership (PW) of the Al Washliyah Youth Movement (GPA)\nfor DKI Jakarta has called on all parties to maintain peace and unity,\nreminding that unity is more important than short-term group interests.\nThis was conveyed by the Chairman of PW GPA DKI Jakarta, Dedi Siregar,\nat a press conference held on Sunday (23\/8\/2026). He rejected actions\ncontaining provocation, incitement or attempts to damage public\nfacilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe, the Regional Leadership of the Al Washliyah Youth Movement for\nDKI Jakarta, firmly reject the planned demonstration by the Pati United\nCommunity Alliance (AMPB), the United Indonesian People\u2019s Alliance, and\nthe Indonesian People\u2019s Care Alliance (ARPI) at the DPR building on 27\nAugust 2026 if the action carries narratives that could provoke the\npublic, contain incitement or cause division, especially if it attempts\nto damage public facilities in Jakarta,\u201d said Dedi Siregar in the\nRawamangun area, East Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Dedi said his organisation respects demonstrations as part of\ndemocracy. However, he stressed that such freedom must be accompanied by\npermissible limits. \u201cWe affirm that freedom of expression is an\nimportant part of democracy. However, that freedom must not be\ninterpreted as unlimited freedom that is then used to build provocation,\nspread irresponsible narratives, or pit the public against one another,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n
Dedi reminded groups holding demonstrations not to claim that they\nrepresent the entire Indonesian people. His organisation rejects all\nforms of provocation carried out in the name of the people. \u201cPW GP Al\nWashliyah DKI rejects all forms of provocation that use the label of the\npeople as legitimacy to convey group interests. No single alliance may\nunilaterally claim to represent the entire Indonesian people as part of\nthat movement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Dedi reminded the entire community to help safeguard\nJakarta. He stressed that Jakarta is a shared home. \u201cWe call on everyone\nto protect Jakarta, protect unity. We remind that Jakarta is a shared\nhome. Differences in views, stances and choices must not become a reason\nto pit fellow citizens against one another. It is too great to be\njeopardised by group interests. National unity is far more important\nthan short-term interests,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The following is the statement of position issued by PW GP Al\nWashliyah DKI Jakarta:<\/p>\n
Rejecting all forms of provocation in the name of the people if\nthe narrative carried has the potential to divide national unity and\nintegrity.<\/p><\/li>\n
Affirming that the Pati United Community Alliance (AMPB), the\nUnited Indonesian People\u2019s Alliance (ARIB) and the Indonesian People\u2019s\nCare Alliance (ARPI) have no legitimacy to claim to represent the entire\nIndonesian people or nation.<\/p><\/li>\n
We, PW GP Al Washliyah DKI Jakarta, want Jakarta to remain\npeaceful. We respect the public\u2019s right to express aspirations, but the\naction must not turn into provocation, anarchic acts, or cause chaos in\nJakarta.<\/p><\/li>\n
We reject all forms of provocation and actions that could trigger\nchaos in Jakarta.<\/p><\/li>\n
We want Jakarta to be a place for expressing aspirations\npeacefully, not an arena. If there are issues, let them be conveyed\npeacefully. No party should deliberately provoke the situation.<\/p><\/li>\n
Inviting the Indonesian public to maintain unity, not to be\neasily provoked by unverified information, and to prioritise dialogue\nand constitutional mechanisms in resolving every issue.<\/p><\/li>\n
Reject provocation. Reject confrontational actions. Protect\nunity. Protect peace in Jakarta.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jakarta-gpa-calls-for-unity-reject-all-forms-of-provocation-1787485904", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
