"The incident that claims two lives at once, has tarnished the Kendari Peace declaration in the same day, and we are really concerned over the happening," Nursalam said here.
He said the university students should have kept and maintained the peace that has been declared because they have better education to be the prospective future leaders of the nation.
"We deeply deplore such a bloody incident. The students who should have passed on the peace declaration to the wider community, they themselves are actually involved in that dispute," Nursalam Lada deplored.
As a representative of the people, the politician of Indonesian Democratic Party Struggle (PDIP) strongly condemned the brains behind the clash at Unhalu campus.
"On behalf of the Southeast Sulawesi people, I for one strongly condemn the actors involved in that bloody dispute that claims the lives of La Ode Muhammah Hijra and Udin," Nursalam said.
Therefore he called on the police to investigate into the cause of the incident and to take the firmest possible action against the perpetrators.
Nursalam also asked all community leaders in the city of Kendari not to be goaded by the incident, but instead tried to help bring the security condition around the campus Haluoleo University under control.
"Brutal act will not be solved if it is dealt with in brutal manner. We have to exercise self-refrain and let it up fully to security officials," he noted.
A few hours before the bloody incident broke out around Haluoleo University campus on Thursday evening, UNESCO representative and Oral Tradition Association voiced Kendari Peace Declaration at noon in the same day.
The declaration contains an invitation to all tribal communities in Indonesia and around the world to keep and maintain peace and security on the face of the earth.
Manuscript of Kendari Declaration was signed jointly by Indonesian National Committee for UNESCO Chairman Arief Rahman, Haluoleo University Rector Usman Rianse, and Oral Tradition Association Chairman Pudentia.
