Dudung gained media attention in late 2020 for his anti-radicalism statements and standoff against extremist groups such as the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI). Furthermore, as Commander of Kodam Jaya, he instructed soldiers under his command to take down provocative banners and posters related to the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) throughout Jakarta, due to the inability of the civilian authorities. This action then sparked controversy.{{Cite web|last=Budiman|first=Aditya|date=2021-05-26|title=Jejak Mayjen Dudung Abdurachman Sebelum Ditunjuk Jadi Pangkostrad|url=https://nasional.tempo.co/read/1466030/jejak-mayjen-dudung-abdurachman-sebelum-ditunjuk-jadi-pangkostrad|access-date=2021-05-26|website=Tempo|language=en}}
