JAKARTA: Former NU Chairman Hasyim Muzadi KH confirmed that so far many people misinterpret about pluralism championed by former NU chairman KH Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur). They translate it in a theological context, but the truth is sociological, humanitarian.
Thus disclosed Hasyim Muzadi when receiving Zannuba Arifah Chafsoh (Yenny Wahid), KH Ahmad Shaheed, Imron Rosyadi Hamid, and Choirul Saleh Rashid at his residence at Pesantren Al-Hikam, Depok, on Friday (8 / 4). Therefore, according to Hasyim, Gus Dur thoughts written by far, still they say, instead of by NU and NU clerics.
As the acceptance of Pancasila as the state principle, he said, it was a syarie, texts and substance Pancasila values were in accordance with the principles of Islamic teachings. Therefore, the Pancasila was Islamic. And, that should explain it is Gus Dur and the NU clerics such as Alm KH Ahmad Siddiq as Rais Aam NU at the time.
I myself as a worker and lead NU. Well, after no longer the leader of NU, the manhaj-way view of religious thought that I actually applied at the Al-Hikam this. Therefore, it is often only ngurusi NU basket only, whereas it did not , said Hasyim reminded.
More concern again, he added, people who menuslis about Gus now there are two interests. That is, for the sake of its own popularity and and for Gus Dur and NU remain below. Both in the social aspects of politics, citizenship, economics, education, and so on. They were wanted for NU is not large and did not advance, said Hashim.
For that reason, continued Hashim, for NU's role in the national and state leaders to establish NU PKB. Only one fault in the establishment of PKB, namely its cadres not dibaiat, sworn and ditraning to istiqomah maintain political home. As a result, the PKB cadre in the legislative and executive officials finally dared to resist their parents, so that PKB is today.
With this, Hashim asked Yenny do what it can do to serve the nation and this State. Gus Dur's struggle should be continued. Do not forget to give a place for NU cadres according to their respective abilities. Whereas in the organization as well, that political parties should have 50 percent and pendobraknya drafter, also 50 percent of managers, said Hashim.
Yenny own on Saturday (9 / 4), the Assembly held in Ciganjur Sholawat Gus Dur, who conducted the beginning of each month and on Saturday-Sunday (April 9 to 10) held Muspimnas Gus Dur PKB in Kalibata, South Jakarta, followed by 33 board region in Indonesia.
