Social media activist Ade Armando has resigned as a member of the\nIndonesian Solidarity Party (PSI). Ade revealed the reason for his\nresignation from the elephant party was due to attacks against him now\nexpanding.<\/p>\n
Ade\u2019s resignation as a PSI cadre was announced during a press\nconference with PSI Daily Chairman Ahmad Ali at the PSI DPP office in\nCentral Jakarta on Tuesday (5\/5). Ade stated that his resignation as a\ncadre was not due to a conflict with PSI.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough this press conference, I state that I am resigning from PSI,\nyes. There is no conflict between me and PSI, but I am resigning, in my\nopinion, for the common good,\u201d Ade said.<\/p>\n
While being a PSI cadre, Ade said he often became the target of\nattacks from various parties. Those attacks were caused by the\nstatements and comments he made.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far, I have too often become the target of attacks due to my\nstatements, my comments, my criticisms of various parties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Ade worried that what he said could affect PSI\u2019s future. Ade said the\nparty with Chairman Kaesang Pangarep actually still wanted to be\ntogether.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe problem is, as I said earlier, those who must now be responsible\nare not only me, because the attacks have been expanded, from attacks\nagainst me also against my friends, including, for example, Mrs Grace,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the other hand, PSI\u2019s leadership has always said that they are\nalways willing or they are always with me. But it\u2019s not fair if the\ngentlemen and ladies in PSI also have to bear the consequences of what I\nsay,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The Letter That Made Ade Armando Resign from PSI<\/p>\n
Behind his resignation from PSI, Ade mentioned that someone sent a\nletter to PSI Daily Chairman Ahmad Ali, stating that someone would not\nsupport PSI if he was still there.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven, perhaps Mr Ali can tell, there are people who send letters to\nMr Ali and say that, this is not Mr Ali complaining, but we read the\nletters together which say that, \u2018We can\u2019t while Ade Armando is still\nthere, we won\u2019t support PSI\u2019,\u201d Ade said.<\/p>\n
According to Ade, this was the impact of the report against him to\nthe police by 40 Islamic mass organisations related to the alleged case\nof cutting speeches by the 10th and 12th Vice President of the Republic\nof Indonesia, Jusuf Kalla (JK). Ade assessed that PSI\u2019s name was also\nattacked from that case.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are 40 Islamic organisations or figures under Mr Din\nSyamsuddin, if I\u2019m not mistaken, they came to the police and reported\nme. Then there was one from Ambon, then another group of organisations.\nAnd on social media, the attacks are extraordinary. And even involving\nbig names, famous people who got involved, even Mr Din Syamsuddin, in my\nopinion, is extraordinary, extraordinary from above. But the attacks are\nnot only towards me. For me, for the first time, the attacks were\ndirected at PSI,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Ade suspected that there were parties deliberately wanting to \u2018finish\noff\u2019 him and PSI. \u201cI sense that there is indeed an intentional effort in\na group to finish me off and then finish off PSI,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In addition, Ade believed that the parties reporting him to the\npolice would not withdraw their report. Ade emphasised that he never\nincited or provoked any party to hate JK.<\/p>\n
\u201cI also believe that the report against me will not be withdrawn, it\nwill continue. But I feel innocent. I never incited, provoked, or\nstirred up anyone, even to hate JK, never,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
PSI Accepts Ade Armando\u2019s Resignation<\/p>\n
PSI has accepted Ade Armando\u2019s resignation as a cadre. PSI said that\nthe party\u2019s interests and Ade Armando\u2019s personal interests need to be\nprotected together.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs I said earlier, the long discussion conducted by the DPP and Bang\nAde Armando yesterday then considered all aspects of possibilities that\nmight happen in the future. On the other hand, we also realise that for\nthe party\u2019s interests and personal interests, these two things must then\nbe protected together,\u201d said Mad Ali at the moment with Ade.<\/p>\n
Mad Ali said Ade Armando\u2019s resignation from PSI was his own\ninitiative. According to him, Ade was worried that the police report\nagainst him would impact PSI.<\/p>\n
\u201cBang Ade invited us to discuss to convince us that if this is not\naccepted immediately, it could have a wider impact on the party. Because\nprevious experiences, Bang Ade\u2019s statements were always linked to PSI.\nThis time it\u2019s different because, as Bang Ade said earlier, this has\nbeen done with massive reporting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Based on that, PSI then accepted Ade Armando\u2019s consideration to\nresign as a cadre. Ali said Ade\u2019s resignation was a reasonable step.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen, on that basis, we then accepted that consideration because on\nthe other hand, what Bang Ade said is a reality and makes sense,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/reasons-behind-expanded-attacks-leading-to-ade-armandos-resignation-from-psi-1778194558", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
