"It is not necessary," Kalla said on Wednesday.
Muslim hardliners will hold the rally days before the Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama's blasphemy trial. They will gather in front of the Supreme Court headquarters.
Muslim hardliners will observe the North Jakarta District Court's verdict. They will demand the harshest punishment.
