Nicholas Ryan Aditya, Ardito Ramadhan, Jakarta – The head of the Indonesian Military's (TNI) Information Centre (Kapuspen), Brigadier General Kristomei Sianturi, suspects there is an attempt to delegitimise the government after incidents in which TNI officers have entered campuses have been criticised by many parties.

According to Sianturi, this is an effort to pit the TNI against students, even though the TNI should be close to students because Indonesia adheres to the total people's security and defence system (Sishankamrata).
