REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Chairman of the National Movement to Safeguard the Indonesian Council of Ulama's Fatwa (GNPF MUI) ustaz Bachtiar Nasir said the 112 rally would be held without having a long march as previously planned. He reiterated if there was a long march, then it did not organized by GNPF. "We would not be responsible for it," he said after a meeting with Coordinating Minister of Politics, Law, and Security Affairs Wiranto at the minister house on Thursday.

Ustaz Bachtiar said GNPF will have a congregational dawn prayer (Shubuh) continued with Tausiah Nasional (national sermon filled with advices). He assured that GNPF will cooperate with the authority to maintain public order. "We would not let any activities that could disrupt public order nor created provocation," he said.

The advisor of GNPF and the leader of Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Habib Rizieq Shihab said the action on Saturday, February 11, will took place at the Istiqlal Mosque. He cancelled the plan to have a healthy walk with the society from National Monument to the HI roundabout, Central Jakarta. "At the same day, there were two Jakarta gubernatorial election candidates who will hold their last campaign and they might bring large number of mass. We don't want to be trapped in their campaign, therefore we decided to stay at Istiqlal Mosque and promised not to violates any law in the mosque," he asserted.

Meanwhile, Wiranto dismissed the notion saying that 112 rally would create an uproar and scary. "Together, we dismissed the issues. People could walk through the day in a peaceful and orderly condition," he said.
