Java Ansor and Banser urge government to disband violent organizations The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Sat, 02/18/2012 6:16 PM | (Tempo/Rully Kesuma) The East Java chapter of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU)’s youth wings GP Ansor and Banser urged the government to suspend or even disband all mass organizations that often use violence.
“We urge government to disband mass organizations that often use violence, including the Islam Defenders Front (FPI),” East Java Ansor’s deputy chairman of the legal, human rights and manpower division Hendro Tri Subiyantoro said Saturday in Surabaya as quoted by tempo.co. The organization also urged the government to disband all organizations that rejected the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia and did not acknowledge Pancasila as the state’s guiding principles. Hendro said the East Java branch of Ansor was ready to be at the frontline of efforts to disband such organizations. “East Java Ansor and Banser will use peaceful methods. Even if those organizations use violence to refuse, Ansor and Banser will not step back. It is like what people say, ‘you get what you give’,” Hendro said. To help prevent the development of violent organizations in East Java, he said he had asked all branches of Ansor and Banser in the province to reject the establishment of organizations that promote violence in their regions. He also instructed the branches to protect their mosques and musholla (small mosque) from Islamic radical teachings. (iwa) Related News >> a.. MPR asks FPI to respect Dayak community b..
