Jakut PCNU ensures that the reporting organization, Pandji Pragiwaksono, is not part of NU.

JAKARTA - The Chairman of the North Jakarta Nahdlatul Ulama Branch (PCNU), KH Agus Muslim, confirmed that Rizki Abdul Rahman Wahid who reported comedian Pandji Pragiwaksono to the Polda Metro Jaya was not part of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU).

He also ensured that there was never an NU autonomous institution or agency (banom) named the Young Force of Nahdlatul Ulama (AMNU).

"I don't know Brother Rizki, and in NU there is no institution or banom called AMNU," said KH Agus Muslim when confirmed by VOI, Friday, January 9, 2026.

The same thing was conveyed by the Chairman of the Nahdlatul Ulama General Board (PBNU), KH Ulil Abshar Abdalla. Citing his statement from NU Online, he emphasized that the alliance in the name of the NU Youth Force which is rumored to have reported Pandji Pragiwaksono is not part of PBNU.

"If the representation of PBNU is clear, it is not," said Gus Ulil.

According to him, for a long time many groups and individuals have often used the name NU for various interests. This, he said, is inseparable from the NU's character as a large and open organization.

"Since the beginning, many people have done this in the name of NU. Because NU is open, yes, anyone can make an institution in the name of NU," he explained.

Gus Ulil added that movements that represented NU were often spontaneous and temporary. In fact, some of them only lasted a short time.

"There are those who make movements on behalf of NU for certain issues. Their age may only be a few hours, after that, there is nothing else. That is the uniqueness of NU," he continued.

As is known, comedian and artist Pandji Pragiwaksono was reported to the Central Police Service Integrated Service (SPKT) of the Polda Metro Jaya by two youth organizations, namely the Young Generation of Nahdlatul Ulama (AMNU) and the Young Alliance of Muhammadiyah.

The report was recorded with the number LP/B/166/I/2026/SPKT/POLDA METRO JAYA, dated January 8, 2026.

The Presidium of the Young Generation of Nahdlatul Ulama, Rizki Abdul Rahman Wahid, said the report was a follow-up to the unrest felt by NU and Muhammadiyah youth.

"We are reporting the person concerned because we think that the material presented is degrading, slanderous, and has the potential to cause commotion in the public space and divide the nation," Rizki told reporters at the Polda Metro Jaya.

He explained that the report was related to the alleged defamation of Pandji's material in the Mens Rea broadcast on one digital platform. The stand-up comedy material presented by Pandji was considered to contain elements of defamation and had the potential to cause a commotion in the public space.
