The administrators of the Central Jakarta Istiqlal Mosque did not allow the 96th Ulama Defending Action by 212 alumni to be held inside the mosque on Friday (9/6), because at the same time, the mosque's administrators also held another event, namely religious tausiyah.

Even so, the participants in the action, which only numbered in the hundreds, continued to hold demonstrations and speeches outside the mosque.

The chairman of the 212 Alumni Presidium, Ansufri Idrus Sambo, stated that his party will continue to strive so that the action will continue to take place in the mosque as planned.

"We will still try to have an agenda in the mosque," Ansufri told reporters when met at the location of Jalan Taman Wijaya Kusuma, Pasar Baru, Sawah Besar, Central Jakarta, Friday (9/6) afternoon.

According to Ansufri, his party's action is more important than the tausiyah event that is being held in the mosque. He is also determined to carry out the action in the mosque even though he has to wait for the completion of the tausiyah event, even the tarawih prayer

"Why can't we go inside? This is more important, this is the agenda to defend ulama, defend Islam. The tausiah agenda can be shifted later. After that, we will keep trying to enter. Even until tarawih we will enter," he said.

Previously, the presidium 212 confirmed that this action would be attended by hundreds of thousands of people. But until noon around 13.30, the action was only attended by more than 100 people. They gathered around the Istiqlal Mosque.
