Jakarta, NU Online
The national reconciliation initiated by various national circles should be based on truth. Instead, the reconciliation would not be achieved by obscuring history or twisting historical facts.
Lajnah Ta'lif wan Nasr (center for research and development) of NU made the statement in its appeal letter No 104/B/LTN-NU/XI/2208 to respond to various political issues related especially to the carelessness in reconstructing history as a means of achieving national rehabilitation and reconciliation.<>
"The national reconciliation initiated by the nation to create harmonious, peaceful and united society should be supported by all parties. But the process of reconciliation and rehabilitation of figures that would be proposed as national heroes should not be conducted by obscuring or twisting historical reality," the letter said.
"Reconciliation and rehabilitation related especially to figures that ever involved themselves in such rebellions as Darul Islam, Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Indonesia (PRRI)/Perjuangan Semesta (Permesta) including 30 September Movement and many others should be conducted as careful as possible."
The letter also mentioned that "both the carefulness and the manipulation of history would trigger public controversy and political tension and disgrace academic world integrity."
In the letter signed by chairman of LTN NU Abdul Mun'im DZ on 17 November 2008 and disseminated to all LTN NU across the country, it was also said that history as a stepping-stone to deal with the rehabilitation aimed at achieving national reconciliation should be reviewed and understood in accordance with the principle of truth (historical reality). All this is intended to give peace and justice for all parties.
In this regard, LTN NU also called on historians especially those who are from NU community to actively take part in the process of reconstructing national history by at least protecting data to be such materials in reconstructing national history based mainly on authentic source. (nam)
