Novel Bamukmin Warns of Divide-and-Conquer Dangers Ahead of August 27 Protest
212 Mujahid preacher Novel Bamukmin is reminding folks to stay alert for possible divide-and-conquer tactics and political agendas in the protest scheduled for Wednesday, August 27, 2026. He's pointing out all the confusing info and hoaxes floating around that drag in various groups' names, like stickers calling for action on behalf of the Islamic Brotherhood Front (FPI).
Novel stressed that protesting is a right protected by law as long as it's done by the book. But he’s asking the public to consider the chance that there might be political payback motives from people who haven't accepted the results of the presidential or regional elections. He also highlighted the political dynamics in Pati Regency, Central Java, as a base of supporters that needs watching closely.
Regarding the push for the House of Representatives to quickly pass the Asset Forfeiture Bill and slap harsher penalties on corruptors, Novel urged that opinions be voiced calmly without any rowdy or destructive behavior. He also asks Jakarta residents to keep their neighborhoods clean from provocations and divide-and-conquer tricks by individuals from outside the area.
Novel is calling on the community to maintain security, order, and peace in Jakarta ahead of the August 27 action, and to follow the consistent leadership of ulemas and habaibs.
