Malang, NU Online
General Chairman of the Central Board of Nahdlatul Ulama KH Hasyim Muzadi said that the Indonesia’s biggest Muslim organization had no relation with a new political party that so-called as National Clerics’ Awakening Party (PKNU), a split off from the National Awakening Party (PKB).
“Politics is of course important, but how to use and treat it, we should be careful,” Hasyim said while speaking at the occasion of Malang’s NU board inauguration in the Islamic boarding school Shirotul Fuqoha, Gondang Legi several days ago.
<>The formation of the nahdliyin-based political party has not been so far responded on such a scale by NU boards from the central to branch representative council level.Hasyim said that the nahdliyin (NU followers) had the rights to vote and determine their own political interests. “NU followers have freely choice, every body can join, no barriers for those willing to join the PKNU,” he said.
The birth of the PKNU is the result of a long running, intractable, and litigious, dispute between two factions of the National Awakening Party (PKB), that led by Muhaimin Iskandar and supported by former president Gus Dur, and that led by Choirul Anam. The latter, Choirul Anam, has formed the PKNU with the support of mainly East Java based Muslim clerics.
The party is expected to have completed all the legal requirements for party status by January of 2007. (gpa/dar)
