The congress participants argued, and even got involved in the action of slashing chairs and chasing each other among HMI cadres.
Regarding the addition of the day of the Congress, the Head of East Java Regional Police Inspector General Pol Nico Afinta said, we will leave it to the committee, because the committee has the mechanism. The committee added another day for the congress.
"In essence, East Java Forkopimda here the Governor, Pangdam V Brawijaya, Pangko Armada II, Danlanud Muljono TNI AU and East Java Regional Police fully support this congress so that it goes well," he said. Wednesday (24/03/2021)
According to Inspector General Nico, we saw that until now the congress was still running, while the congress was running there was a miss-communication between them so that some people slammed their chairs, but we secure them.
"There are 6 people and are still being investigated. Hopefully this congress will run safely and smoothly. The East Java Regional Police are sure that HMI can solve the problems in it," he explained.
In addition, the East Java Regional Police, with the assistance of the East Java Provincial Government and the TNI, divided them into TNI-owned lodgings in Surabaya.
Inspector General Nico added, Alhamdulillah, the group could understand and help secure the city of Surabaya from the security side and COVID-19.
"Furthermore, the main focus of the police is to secure the proceedings, which until 04.00 WIB is still taking place from plenary 2 to plenary 3. For this reason, we carry out this security at the request of the committee and the provincial government because this is an asset for East Java," said this high-ranking police officer.
However, at that time, the congress had to be suspended because it was tinted with chaos, to the point of slamming chairs, chasing each other, and even breaking one of the glass in the building. HMI is an organization that has been around for a long time and understands democracy
