He admitted that he remained in touch with those who were considered 'critical' of the government. For Mahfud, good relations with many people must be maintained.

"I am active in friendship and have good relations with those who are 'considered critical'. For example, with Rizal Ramli, Syukri Fadholi, Kyai Muyyidin MUI, Busyro Muqoddas, Gatot Nurmantyo and others. So what? As long as we both have no evil intentions, we are young to be friends, ”said Mahfud.
