REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDUNG -- West Java Governor Ahmad Heryawan (Aher) said handling the victims of Dimas Kanjeng Taat Pribadi will be easier than Gafatar victims. "Because the number of victims are not too many and centralized in the hermitage," he said.

However, Aher did not know the exact number of West Java residents who follows Dimas Kanjeng. Currently, Social Affairs Department is still formulating the handling with the central government and other parties in West Java. West Java Provincial Government will coordinate with the Ministry of Social Affairs to set up mechanisms for returning the victims. "We will guide them before returning them to their home. We were formulating with the ministry about the formula," he said.

Nevertheless, according to Aher, West Java Provincial Government would rehabilitate the followers of Dimas Kanjeng Taat Pribadi from West Java Province. "They will be rehabilitated before being sent home to their respective areas because their participation in Dimas Kanjeng's teaching deviated from the Islamic teaching and value." West Java Governor Ahmad Heryawan (Aher) said Bandung, West Java, on Monday (10/10).

Earlier, the West Java Police released West Java residents suspected of being followers of Dimas Kanjeng Taat Pribadi from various parts of Indonesia area including West Java residents. About 80 people from West Java Province and majority from Cianjur.
