REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, It has been almost one month to be discussed and debated in the political life of the Country of Indonesia, the decision on the problem of Hizbut Thahrir of Indonesia to have been still likely unclear. Definitely people are waiting for what is at last the Government decision which has stated going to cancel the status of the foundation of Hizbut Tharir of Indonesia.
The record on the problem and the development of Hizbut Tharir could be retrieved completely in the social media publication. Based on the respective social media record this article is intended to review the problem of the foundation of Hizbut Tharir in Indonesia and the final suggestion on the matter raised by the Independent Observer to the Government.
The formal attribute of Hizbut Tharir of Indonesia is also used to be abbreviated as HTI. This foreign influenced Religion Organization had been seriously detected by the Government of Indonesia since the period before the President Jokowi administration more than ten years ago. HTI was started to be identified as an active religious political activities among the religious society. Most of the political action to have been done by HTI was criticizing the various government policy and calling various people demand and protesting and complaining about various bad conditions.
Apparently according to the media record HTI was detected to be presence in Indonesia since the beginning of 1983 before the Reform Era. Definitely the essence of HTI political activities were the expression on the political dissatisfy among those religious political activist to the condition of the life of the Indonesian people included the religious society as the biggest part of the Indonesian population that were still far from prosperity and happiness.
Those religious political activist came to the conclusion the present Ideological and Political System adopted by the Country and the State of the Indonesian Nation is not perfect and the Indonesian Nation should change with the Kilafah Ideological Political Concept.
Recently President Jokowi was looked like as not proud when after more than 70 years as Independent Country it is apparently the Country of Indonesia still poor and lack of capability to develop this country and unfortunately Indonesia is still left behind by the country such as Malaysia which was clearly poorer and weaker country than Indonesia when both countries as new independent countries started to build their respective countries.
President Jokowi did not give his analyzes on what is the reason why the poor and backward condition is still facing by the country of Indonesia mainly in the field of science and technology. However President also realized the various unnecessary situation which had happened in this country should be reminded by all the Indonesian generation as likely constituting the reasons of the slow movement of the Indonesian national development as many times to be complained by President Jokowi. This remark and complain clearly to be detected when he was giving his remark on the started national agenda for the sience and technology cooperation between Indonesia and Malaysia.
President Jokowi likely is on the position to conclude Indonesia has been too much disturbed by the unnecessary conflict such as the neglected presence of the organization called Hizbut Thahrir which has the political objective to develop and to establish the so called Kilafah Ideological and Political System which is described as the better ideological and political concept to be implemented in the national development of Indonesia.
The analysis on the caliph has been made by various reseacher, it is recognized that there is no fact that Caliph Ideological and Political Concept to be recorded as against Pancasila Philosophy. However it is also very clear that Caliph Ideological and Political Concept is not easily understood concept and there is not any example that Caliph Ideological and Political Concept is strengthening the implementation of Pancasila Philosophy as one of four pillars of the Country of Indonesia.
Definitely Caliph Ideological and Political Concept are doubtfully could be adopted together. Beside of that it is really impossible the country of Indonesia should adopt two kinds of different ideological and political concept of life together. Accordingly the Government of Indonesia considered the official steps to solve the problem of Caliph and the foundation of HTI which is supporting Caliph Ideological and Political Concept should be accomplished urgently but wisely because Caliph Ideological and Political Concept is connected to the interpretation of the prime religion adopted by the majority people in South East Asia and Middle East.
Various idea and attitude of various independent political activist, legal and social experts, former TNI leaders, intellectual and educated generation and personal observers have been raised and suggested to the Government various comment and ideas which one of the considered wise step to be suggested to the government are :
First, the government should officially and highly respect the Religion concerns though the government is realizing that Caliph Ideological and Political Concept is still the firmly crucial complicated idea. There is no any clear description and no clarification has been made about what and how is the clear description about Caliph and felt tend to be a wishful thinking. Accordingly the idea to develop Caliph could definitely create the confusing situation and conflicting idea among the Indonesian Citizen mainly the various Religious Society in Indonesia.
Second, in line to Constitutional step, government should cancel the Notary Document on the foundation of HTI in 2014 that likely had been miss interpreted by HTI as if HTI is regional political mass organization that is able to join to all the political movement in Indonesia. For this objective the legal system of the Countrty of Indonesia is definitely fully available to support the implementation of the idea, various legal experts said the publishing of the Legal product called the Government Regulation applied as Law is considered as the pertinent step to be possible utilizing the idea to stop the effort to develop and to implement Caliph Ideological and Political Concept in Indonesia.
Hopefully the problem of HTI will be solved urgently but peacefully, legally, humanly and democratically utilizing The Government Regulation applied as Law.
