"It is you all who will protect the NKRI in the future. We do not want the country to become depraved that justifies homosexuality. We want Indonesia to become a peaceful and prosperous country blessed by God," Zulkarnain said in the 212 Alumni Reunion Rally at the National Monument (Monas) Square on Sunday.
He said the Unitary State of Indonesia is based on the Belief in One God philosophy. Therefore, the state policy or that of individuals should not be against religion, including justifying brothels.
The alumni reunion was attended by a number of noted figures, including presidential candidate number 02 Prabowo Subianto, Speaker of the People`s Consultative Assembly (MPR) Zulkifli Hasan and Deputy Speaker of MPR Hidayat Nur Wahid.
It is estimated that more than three million participants from a number of regions are present at the grand reunion.
The participants not only packed the National Monument area, but also packed thoroughfares that lead from MH Thamrin to Sudirman, Gunung Sahari, Merdeka Selatan, and Agus Salim.
