Chapter 24 Part 3 "Kami Hindia, Kami Indonesia!"

POV Muhamed

Ten days have passed since the mass hacking of various television, radio networks and simultaneous consecutive uploads on various social media that spreading information related to the Neo-NSB party's rotten plan to blow up several Volksraad buildings in various cities in VSI to slander the Indonesian Muslim community who tried to obediently carry out their religious teachings occured.

After the public learned that the incident was aimed at taming the resistance of the Indonesian people to the party by taking away the freedom of the Indonesian people to use religious symbols and wear clothes accordingly to their religious advice, finally all elements of Indonesian society spontaneously went down to the streets to hold mass demonstrations for the last three days in a row. In which the resistance that the community gave was so fierce that the security forces were overwhelmed in the face of the sea of ​​people who kept trying to fight them every time the security forces tried to push back the sea of ​​people who joined in the demonstrations.

Of all the ongoing demonstrations, the demonstration that has attracted the most attention from the national and international mass media is the one that is currently taking place in the city of Jakarta. Many people from various elements of the community in VSI from various cities on the island of Java participated in filling various main roads in Jakarta City, demanding Prime Minister Willem van Huizen and his cronies from the Neo-NSB party to step down from office.

Demonstrations also occurred in the Netherlands where various immigrant Muslim communities participated in the demonstration which was held in front of the VSI's embassy building. They demanded the same thing as the VSI Muslim community demanded while shouting the slogan that is used by the VSI's Muslim community which read, "We are Indies, we are Indonesians!".

The Dutch government in the Netherlands also expressed their stance against all repressive actions that are being carried out by the VSI government and appealed to the VSI government to immediately meet the demands of the people from the VSI before the condition of the VSI became increasingly chaotic. Prime Minister Willem van Huizen and his cronies and members of the parliament who still in control of the government still have not given any official statement about whether they are willing to meet the demands of the people of the VSI or not so, various organizations and institutions of the Indonesian community invited the Indonesian people to continue the demonstratiom in front of the Volksraad building in Jakarta until Prime Minister Willem van Huizen and his cronies met the demands of the people from the VSI to step down from their positions and the Neo-NSB party was dissolved.

At night, the train to Jakarta was filled with passengers from various elements of society from the City of Sucilangkung who flocked to the City of Jakarta to participate in fulfilling the invitation of various organizations and elements of VSI's society to hold demonstrations in front of the Volksraad building and also in front of the PM's white house where the Prime Minister stays. I and brother Lodewijk were among those who also went to Jakarta to fulfill the invitation.

I and brother Lodewijk went by night train. We left at nine o'clock. Before we left we both paid a visit to Karim, Mevrouw Sofia and sister Tantri who are still being treated at the hospital because they haven't recovered yet from the injuries that they suffered from the beating that the Schutterij force inflicted upon them.

I visited Karim to ask for his and his mother's prayers and permission. My uncle had allowed me to take part in the demonstration because he wanted to see the people who had wronged his son get the punishment for what they had done while my aunt, who was in the hospital room to accompany her son until he recovered did not allow me to go nor did Karim. Karim shed some tears when he asked me to stay.
