slam Defenders Front (FPI) spokesman Munarman said he had no regrets after throwing water at University of Indonesia (UI) sociologist Thamrin Amal Tomagola during a live television talk show.
Munarman said as quoted by kontan.co.id that he had the right to do what he did because he was disgruntled with one of Thamrin's responses during the talk show discussion, which centered on the police ban of public sweepings during Ramadhan.
The incident, which took place in front of National Police spokesman Brig. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar, began when Munarman gave his perspective on the ban against organizations such as his forcibly closing entertainment sites during the fasting month.
Thamrin tried to respond to Munarman's opinion but rather than listen, the latter took his glass of water and threw the contents at Thamrin.
'Shut up when I am talking,' Munarman, who holds a degree in law and was once the coordinator of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras), exclaimed as quoted by kompas.com.
