Cak Imin's Joke About The Problem Of Organizing Hajj Is Solved If The Deputy Of PKB Becomes Minister Of Religion
JAKARTA - Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB) Muhaimin Iskadar alias Cak Imin highlighted the problem of organizing Hajj every year that the government has not resolved.One of them is the lack of facilities prepared for Indonesian pilgrims such as lodging in Arafah and Mina. The congregation there was forced to rest in a narrowed tent because of the overloaded capacity.While joking, Cak Imin said such problems could be resolved if PKB Deputy General Chairperson (Waketum) Jazilul Fawaid became Minister of Religion."There has always been no solution, after a century there has been a solution. The name is throwing graded summaries, why can't Arafah-Mina be made up of grade? Of course, waiting for Pak Jazil to become minister of religion, something like that," said Cak Imin at the Mukarnas PKB at JCC, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, July 23.Cak Imin admitted that he had discussed with Jazilul in responding to the issue of organizing the Hajj. According to Cak Imin, the government should be able to ensure that the pilgrims can perform their prayers without interruption."From year to year the solution doesn't exist. Yes, it's hard to repeat and repeat. Fortunately, our pilgrims are patient, and think the difficulty is considered, yes, this is part of the trials. According to Mr. Jazil, the harder it is for the pilgrimage, the smaller the reward. Hajj is smoother and easier, the higher the reward. That's according to Mr. Jazil," explained Cak Imin.Cak Imin previously also criticized and responded to by the Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas. Yaqut, according to him, did not even give a solution to the problem.
"Yesterday, he was criticized, angry with the Ministry of Religion. Criticized about Mina, who is a sleeping person, a woman, piled up in conditions of ihram clothes, krik krik answered. 'Yes, since the time of the prophet, that's the case'," he added.
