TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Spokesperson of Jemaat Ahmadiyah Indonesia (JAI), Yendra Budiana, said that the banishment of Ahmadiya community in Srimenanti village, Bangka Regency, began after the community faced difficulties in obtaining ID cards.

Yendra said that the Ahmadiyah community in Srimenanti village had been having difficulties in obtaining ID card since 2015.
