Saat Aidit Tuding TNI AD Bikin Negara Bangkrut..!!

Tahun 1963 hingga 1965 tercatat sebagai tahun-tahun terpanas hubungan TNI AD dan Partai Komunis Indonesia. Saling gertak antara kedua pihak terus terjadi.

Tahun 1960-an, perekonomian Indonesia terus merosot. Di sisi lain, TNI membeli persenjataan dalam jumlah besar dari Blok Timur. Alutsista itu akan dipakai untuk merebut Irian Barat dari tangan Belanda.

Hal ini pun jadi peluru bagi Ketua Comite Central PKI DN Aidit untuk menyerang TNI AD. Aidit menyebut TNI AD lah yang bikin bangkrut negara.

“TNI AD lah sumber kebobrokan ekonomi dan konsumen terbesar uang rakyat,” serang DN Aidit.

Hal ini langsung ditanggapi dengan geram oleh Menteri/Panglima Angkatan Darat Jenderal Ahmad Yani. “Biar ada 10 Aidit pun tak akan bisa memperbaiki ekonomi kita,” tegas Yani seperti ditulis dalam Buku Sejarah TNI yang diterbitkan oleh Pusat Sejarah Mabes TNI tahun 2000.

Serangan Aidit pada Jenderal Yani dan kelompoknya terus berlangsung. Munculah sebutan tentara Nekolim atau neo kolonialisme, barisan jenderal Pentagon hingga akhirnya yang paling terkenal adalah isu Dewan Jenderal.

Ketika itu PKI meminta buruh tani dipersenjatai untuk kepentingan bela negara. Perdana Menteri China Chou En Lai sudah menyatakan siap memberikan 100.000 pucuk senjata. Namun TNI AD menggagalkan ambisi ini. Angkatan kelima pun tak pernah dibentuk.

Aksi PKI menunggangi buruh dan petani merampas negara berbenturan juga dengan TNI AD. Puncaknya adalah peristiwa Bandar Betsy di Simalungun, Sumatera Utara. Ribuan petani menyerobot tanah milik Perusahaan Perkebunan Negara (PPN). Seorang anggota TNI, Pelda Soedjono tewas dicangkul.

Panglima Angkatan Darat Jenderal Ahmad Yani marah besar mendengar hal itu. Yani meminta kasus itu diusut tuntas. Pelda Soedjono sedang menjalankan tugas negara ketika tewas dikeroyok.

“Bisa timbul anarki dalam negara kalau kasus ini dibiarkan!” ujar Yani marah.

Kemarahan itu dibawanya saat menghadiri HUT Resimen Para Komando Angkatan Darat (RPKAD) tanggal 15 Juli 1965 di Jakarta, Yani menumpahkan kemarahannya pada PKI.

“RPKAD harus tetap memelihara kesiapsiagaan yang merupakan ciri khasnya dalam keadaan apapun, terutama dalam keadaan gawat ini. Asah pisau komandomu, bersihkan senjatamu,” kata Yani.

Kurang dari tiga bulan kemudian, Gerakan G30S yang dikomandani Letkol Untung menculik enam jenderal dan satu perwira TNI AD. Yani menjadi salah satu korban penculikan itu.

Aidit yang menjadi salah satu otak peristiwa itu pun bernasib tragis. Dia ditangkap di rumah persembunyiannya di Yogyakarta. Tak ada sumber resmi soal kematiannya. Hanya ada kesaksian dia dibawa ke sebuah markas tentara di wilayah Boyolali. Di sebuah sumur tua Aidit diberondong peluru hingga tewas. Kuburnya tak diketahui hingga kini.

5 Consequences of Driving without Car Insurance Do you own a car? Great! Does your car also have a valid motor insurance cover on it? Owning a car, while earlier classified as being a luxury, has now moved down to being a comfort. In fact, in metros, a car has almost become a necessity due to long-distance commutes. More and more of us are, therefore, buying a car. But are we also buying the mandatory car insurance policy? Every car which is to ply on Indian roads should have a valid car insurance cover, states the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. When you buy a new car, the choice of buying an insurance policy is, thankfully, taken out of your hands. The on-road price of the car is inclusive of the insurance premium for your car insurance policy. The problems arise when the policy expires after a year. Car insurance plans are usually issued for one year after which they should be renewed. If you do not renew it, you are driving a car without car insurance. If numbers are any indication, a study by New India Assurance revealed that about 70% of vehicles on Indian roads are without insurance. Is your car one among them? If yes, beware. Here are 5 consequences if you drive your car without having a valid Car Insurance policy: Be prepared to pay heavy fines Earlier, the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 governed the road safety and traffic rules. Recently, the Government passed the Road Transport and Safety Bill 2014 to replace the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Among other changes, the Bill penalizes you heavily if you are caught driving without having a valid insurance cover. As per the amendments, you would have to part with a whopping Rs.25, 000 for a light motor vehicles or Rs.75, 000 for other motor vehicles as a fine for driving without insurance. A huge fine, isn’t it? Pay losses for damages caused to third party or property In an accident, if you unintentionally harm any person or surrounding property, you are liable to pay the loss incurred. This is called third party liability. Your car insurance mandatorily covers this third party liability and spares you the loss incurred. In the absence of a valid insurance cover, you would have to bear the losses incurred. If the person dies, your liability would be very high. Read more Is third party car worth buying? Pay losses for own damage While you have to compulsorily pay losses caused to a third party, what about your losses. In an accident even your vehicle suffers damage. The costs of repairs for such damage are borne by your comprehensive car insurance policy. Without insurance, the onus of paying for the repairs is on you. With the high cost associated with the repairs of your car, a financial strain is inevitable. Read more about All you need to know about car insurance Face legal complications Besides the financial loss suffered in an accident which causes damage to a third party and/or self, you would also be entangled in legal complications if your car is found without a valid insurance cover. You would be penalized, get a challan and might even be imprisoned. Loss of No Claim Bonus If your car insurance expires and you do not renew it, besides the penalties and fines, you also lose the No Claim Bonus which you accumulated in your existing policy. Car insurance plans allow a discount in subsequent year’s premiums if there is no claim in any current year. This discount increases every year and saves your premium outgo. If you let your car insurance policy lapse, you lose the accumulated NCB and end up paying a higher premium when the policy is consequently renewed. A car insurance policy is legally mandatory and not having one results in serious consequences (as mentioned above). While a third party liability cover is mandatory, a comprehensive policy is better. The former pays only for the damages caused to any third party but the latter also covers damages incurred by you and your car. The premium for a comprehensive policy is slightly higher because of higher coverage. For instance, the premium payable for a Maruti Ritz car registered in 2012 having a capacity of 1197cc would have a third party premium of Rs.2237 and a comprehensive premium of Rs.4200 (approximately). With a slight increase in the premium you can avail a higher coverage option which covers for your damages too. Since car repairs are expensive, a comprehensive policy makes more sense even if the premiums are a little high. So do not fall a victim to these consequences and buy an insurance policy for your car today.
