He emphasized that security measures are crucial to prevent demonstrations from being infiltrated by disruptive elements. "We want the public who have the right to convey their aspirations to the DPR to be protected, to be escorted, so that they enter whole and are not disturbed by anyone. That is what the Polda and Kodam are doing, along with the public in Jakarta who are also maintaining peace and order in the Jakarta environment," he added.

Chaniago clarified that the security presence is not intended to obstruct citizens but to ensure their voices are heard safely and orderly. This synergy between the TNI and Polri aims to maintain public order and security (kamtibmas) in Jakarta, while also protecting those not participating in the demonstrations. The minister expressed hope that the escorted aspirations would be followed up and responded to by the DPR.
