TEMPO.CO, Makassar - Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Tedjo Edhy Purdijatno said the police are still probing several witnesses in connection to the riot in Tolikara, Papua, to name the main suspect.
“The police are still there conducting investigation to find the perpetrator that caused the riot,” said Tedjo on Thursday.
Tedjo said if all legal processes have finished, the result will be announced to the public. While waiting for that, Tedjo asked the public not to be provoked by various circulating information about Tolikara.
“I hope all people can think clearly about this issue and there will be no acts of revenge,” said Tedjo.
He also said this nation must not be torn apart just because of acts by a bunch of groups. “Those who clutter this nation are the ones that are not focused on their expertise, which can worsen the situation,” said Tedjo.
He gave example on a vegetable seller who comments on religious issues or a religious figure who comments on political issues. Tedjo said they should focus on their own job.
“I hope everyone can maintain a secure situation, especially with the regional elections that will be held later,” he said.
