SURABAYA - The gathering of the Alumni Association of GP Ansor and Banser East Java which was held in the courtyard of the Nahdlatul Ulama Museum, Surabaya City, became chaotic after being visited by dozens of members of the local Ansor and Banser.

"We have no problem with the event, but don't bring up the names of Ansor and Banser. If there are no words from Ansor and Banser, we will not dissolve it," said Chairman of the Youth Movement (GP) Ansor Surabaya City HM Faridz Afif when visiting the event as reported by ANTARA, Friday, June 17.

The riots occurred when the administrators of the Surabaya GP Ansor released a number of attributes on behalf of Ansor and Banser in the Gathering of the Alumni Association of GP Ansor and Banser East Java and the declaration of the Khittah Nahdliyyah Adherents Movement (PPKN).

The arrival of the Ansor and Banser members had received reactions from the committee and activity participants. There was an argument between the two parties, but then the activity was successfully disbanded.

In addition, continued Afif, the Ansor Alumni Association's relationship was also not approved by the Central Leadership of GP Ansor or Regional Head of GP Ansor East Java.

"We received orders from the central and regional leaders to bring it into order," he said.

He also explained in PD PRT Ansor, the term alumni association in management never existed. For Ansor administrators who have retired over the age of 40, they will serve NU directly.

Therefore, he continued, his party will report to the police regarding the use of the Ansor and Banser logos used in this activity. Moreover, the Ansor and Banser logos have been registered with the government.

Afif said GP Ansor Surabaya had communicated so that the forum would not be held. However, he said, they continued to hold the event, so it was forced to disband it.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Gathering Committee for the Alumni Association of the East Java Ansor Youth Movement, Said Utomo, has yet to be confirmed. When called on his cell phone, he heard a ringing tone, but he didn't pick up.
