Jakarta –
Habib Rizieq Syihab willing to reconciliation. But he asked the government to stop criminalizing ulama before reconciliation.
“There are screams of reconciliation, how could reconciliation be held if the door to dialogue is not opened. Open the door to dialogue first, then reconciliation. There is no reconciliation without dialogue, dialogue is important,” Rizieq said as broadcast on the YouTube channel Front TV, Wednesday (11/11) / 2020).
According to Rizieq, the government should be happy if criticized. According to Rizieq, criticism from outside parties can be accepted or rejected by the government.
“The critics have a solution to offer. Learn, if the solution is good, accept it. If it is not good, brother, tell where it is not good. Done, there is no need for uproar at the national level,” he said.
He claimed to have offered dialogue to the government since 2017. However, until now, according to Rizieq, the government has not responded.
“After the 212 action, the 212 action in 2016, then in January (2017), we made another action 121, January 12. We have already offered, if the government wants to sit down with the habaib, the ulama, we are ready 24 hours, when, at where, please, “said Rizieq.
“But what answer was received? The answer we received was not that the door to dialogue was opened, not reconciliation, but what we got, the criminalization of ulama,” he said.
