Madiun, Nov. 10 -- Mayor of Madiun Maidi stated that Indonesia's present adversaries are not colonizers but drug dealers and traffickers as well as those spreading hoaxes and violent extremism because they potentially destruct the nation's unity in diversity.

"To become heroes of the nation at present, anyone must not fight with weapons. Instead, whatever they can do to strengthen the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, and they do not do any wrongdoing that may harm national unity," he said.

Among the harmful wrongdoings were spreading fake news and violent extremism, and trading addictive drugs, he said in his speech delivered at a celebration to commemorate this year's National Heroes Day in Madiun, East Java, on Sunday.
