The inauguration of NU martial arts Pagar Nusa of Tasikmalaya, on Saturday (29/6) was marked by the Declaration of Nationality and will crack down on any violence and undermining in the name of religion.<>

"If we find violence in the name of religion in Tasikmalaya as a few days ago, we will immediately act without first coordinating with the authorities," said Ajengan Mimih Haeruman, reciting the declaration that is followed by NU autonomous bodies, institutions and political parties throughout Tasikmalaya district.

The leader of Padepokan Sntri Manuk Heulang considered that so far the government officials in Tasikmalaya had always become less responsive in taking measures against the perpetrators of violence in the name of religion.

The declaration calls on all Indonesian people to strengthen the Unitary State of Republic of Indonesia (KNRI) in addition to reject and resist all forms of radicalism in the name of ethnicity, religion and class.
