Hitler Nababan (born 23 July 1973) is an Indonesian politician from the Democratic Party who served as a member of the Karawang Regional Representative Council (the city's legislative body) from 2014 until 2019.
[10] Inside the council, Hitler was seated in the Commission C, which handled matters relating to public works, spatial planning, transportation, mining and energy, public housing, environment, sanitation, parks, regional ports, development of sea potential, informatics, and multimedia.
Ahmad Ardiansyah, an MP from the People's Conscience Party, stated that Hitler often asked critical questions to bureau heads during budget drafting sessions.
[12] During his term, Hitler conducted a work trip for a week in October 2015, visiting subdistricts located in his constituency.
[15] In April 2018, Hitler posted a meme which depicted leader of the Islamic Defenders Front Habib Rizieq and former speaker of the People's Consultative Assembly from the National Mandate Party Amien Rais in the council's budgeting body WhatsApp group.
[16] The meme depicted a manipulated image of Amien Rais and Habib Rizieq riding an air compressor.
Trying to make the meme funnier, Hitler also added a caption which reads as pesawat pengintai (reconnaissance aircraft).
An hour after he posted the meme, a fellow MP named Danu Hamidi tried to warn him about his actions and commented karawang buatlah sejuk (make Karawang calm),[17] and another MP named Opik commented neeh mahh, takut dianggap unsur (here is [he], being afraid of [affiliated] to [specific] groups).
The chairman of the judicial assistance body of the Islamic Defenders Front, Sugito Atmo Prawiro, stated that "Hitler has acted outrageously by insulting clerics, habibs, and Amien Rais".
The Deputy Chairman of the Honorary Council of the National Mandate Party, Drajad Wibowo, stated that Amien Rais "would probably laugh if he saw the meme".
