“Yes, we have seen the video, we are still finding out the cause. If the house of worship has received the approval of the residents, of course it doesn’t have to be questioned again,” he said when contacted, reported detikSumatraMonday (20/2/2023).
Regarding the actions of the person in the video who allegedly stopped the Christian worship process, Nunik admitted that he deeply regretted it. He considered that residents should mediate first.
“Of course it is very regrettable for this incident. The state guarantees the right to religion and worship of its citizens in accordance with the law, it should not be done with such actions. We live in Indonesia, which has various ethnic religions, tolerance must be prioritized,” he said.
For this incident, the Church came to the Kedaton Police to report the incident.
