SEMARANG - Chairman of the Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board, Yahya Cholil Staquf or Gus Yahya, asked that the polemic that occurred in Wadas Village, Bener District, Purworejo was not politicized. Especially if it is labeled that the government is oppressing the people.
This was conveyed by Gus Yahya in his remarks at the Regional Working Conference (Muskerwil) of the Central Java Nahdlatul Ulama (PWNU) Regional Manager and the 99th Harlah NU, virtually in the Great Mosque Hall of Central Java, Thursday 10 February.
"We don't need to rush to politicize this kind of problem as a problem between the government and the people, the government is oppressing the people and so on. We must not overdo it in this matter," said Gus Yahya.
The elder brother of the Minister of Religion said that all parties must work together to find a way out. For this reason, Nahdlatul Ulama is ready to bridge better communication between the government and the Wadas community.
"What we need now is a solution and Nahdlatul Ulama, God willing, will continue to be present to accompany the people and help the government launch communication between the government and the people themselves," he said.
On the other hand, Gus Yahya is confident that in the settlement the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, will resolve issues related to andesite mining in Wadas Village properly. Given, said Yahya, Purworejo has an emotional bond with Ganjar.
"Hopefully in the future it will be better and I personally am very confident that this can be resolved, because this is the problem with Pak Ganjar's neighbor who is from Purworejo," joked Yahya.
Governor Ganjar Pranowo said the support from PBNU conveyed by Ketum Yahya Cholil Staquf was an additional energy so that the government could communicate better with the Wadas community.
"So that later the pros and cons can both respect each other and we will find the best solution," said Ganjar who was present along with the Central Java Forkopimda staff. There is also the Chairman of the PKB DPW, Yusuf Chudlori to the Mayor of Semarang, Hendrar Prihadi.
The Head of Public Relations of the Central Java Police (Central Java) Kombes Iqbal Alqudusy confirmed that no residents of Wadas Village, Purworejo Regency who had been detained at the local police station were named as suspects.
"No one is a suspect," said Iqbal.
A total of 66 Wadas residents who were previously detained have been repatriated in their entirety. As for the circulation of fake news containing provocative uploads about the Wadas incident on social media, he said, police investigators have started an investigation.
"The process of investigating the admin and the uploads on the account are sources of provocative news," he also said.
