Trenggalek Regent Jokes In Front Of Gus Miftah During The Harlah NU, The Banser Is A Versatile Bull

JAKARTA - Trenggalek Regent Mochamad Nur Arifin or who is familiarly called Gus Ipin was one of the speakers in the celebration of the 95th birthday (Harlah) of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Sunday, January 31.

In front of Gus Miftah, Gus Ipin answered that the Banser was a "Multipurpose Bull."

Of course this is a joke from Gus Ipin, who is one of the 109 PDIP regional heads of NU cadres. Initially, Gus Miftah asked why he was wearing a Banser shirt when he was a resource person.

Gus Ipin answered straightforwardly, "Banser means a multipurpose bull. So we keep NKRI ready, keep the ulama ready," he said with a laugh.

The dialogue went smoothly, starting with the story of Gus Ipin's initial involvement as a cadre of the party made by Megawati Soekarnoputri. Since the beginning he wanted to enter politics, he first gave permission from his father, who is also a cadre of a political party.

Not to forget, Gus Ipin also asked for consideration from the religious scholars in Trenggalek who supported him.

"I asked the kiai who supported me at that time, he said I had to look at history, if this young man is a red coat, don't leave history occasionally, if the kiai said Green coat don't leave the ulama's services occasionally," said Gus Ipin

With this message, he believed that historical facts were clear, NU and the Indonesian National Party (PNI) could not be separated from the journey of the Indonesian nation.

"Well, I see who Indonesia is, what Indonesia's political aspirations are like? If we look at 1955, the first winner of NU, then PNI, then PKI. PKI is clearly rejected in history, Masyumi is in doubt. So Indonesia is only PNI and NU," Gus explained. Ipin.

Furthermore, Gus Ipin emphasized that if young people want to build the future of Indonesia, they must look at the history of the birth of political aspirations since long time ago.

"If we young people want to build the future of Indonesia, the original political aspirations of the Indonesian nation between red and green must be met. So I serve at NU, the regional administrators in Anshor continue their political aspirations through the PDI-P," said Gus Ipin.
