"The government has always quickly responded to such situations by deploying security personnel to the affected areas before the riots spread any further. Therefore, it is not true that the government sometimes turns a blind eye to riots happening in the country," he said at the Vice President's office here on Monday.
Suyanto made the statement after a regular meeting with Home Minister Gamawan Fauzi, National Police chief Gen.Timur Pradopo, and Vice President Boediono.
According to the minister, the central government continues to monitor violence-prone regions through their respective heads in its effort to prevent conflicts across Indonesia.
He pointed out that the government immediately deployed additional security forces from the National Police and Army during the riot in Balinuraga village, South Lampung district, on October 28-29.(IGT)
