The Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Komjen Agus Andrianto, will firmly follow up on police reports related to blasphemy by the Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School.

"The point is we are ready to receive a report on the activities of the Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School which is suspected of committing blasphemy, later we will handle it from there," Agus said, quoting Antara, June 25.

It is known that Bareskrim Polri received a police report filed by the Central Leadership Council of the Pancasila Defenders Advocate Forum (DPP FAPP) against Panji Gumilang, on Friday, June 23.

According to the three-star general, the report will also be followed up by Bareskrim Polri investigators.

"Yes, we will follow up," he said.

Regarding the follow-up to the report, investigators will summon the reporting witness and ask for expert information to deepen the report.

In addition to expert witnesses, investigators will also ask for information from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI).

"Later we will complete it with witness testimony, we will ask for expert information, ask for information from MUI. From the results of the examination, if there is an element of blasphemy, it will definitely be a further process," said Agus.

Reports of alleged blasphemy against the head of Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School were recorded with police report number: LP/B/163/VI/2023/Bareskrim Polri dated June 23, 2023.

According to Ihsan Tanjung from the Central Leadership Council of the Pancasila Defenders Advocate Forum (DPP FAPP), there are many controversial things that Panji Gumilang has done at the Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School which leads to blasphemy, such as the women's Eid prayer in shaf with men.

In addition, based on the MUI decision letter related to several teachings given by Panji Gumilang, it is heretical.

The three legal steps, said Mahfud, are criminal, administrative and orderly social and security.
