Hadi said that watching the film was the right of all citizens at any time. “Go ahead, everyone can watch it; that is part of the history of our nation," he said at the Sudirman Hall, Jakarta, Wednesday, September 26, also inviting the society to reject the communist ideology in the country of Pancasila.


According to the TNI commander, the communist ideology is a common enemy for the people of Indonesian. “The danger of communism is our concern,” he said.
