JAKARTA Lecturer at Al-Azhar University Indonesia, Ujang Komarudin asked the Special Committee (Pansus) for Hajj of the DPR RI to be objective in carrying out its duties and dismissed the feud between Muhaimin Iskandar and Yaqut Cholil Qoumas.

The reason is, the formation of the DPR's Hajj Special Committee is indeed necessary considering that there are so many problems during the implementation of the 2024 Hajj pilgrimage.

"Hajj must be evaluated in total, it must be because there are many problems from year to year and there must be transparent accountability. Now the DPR, Cak Imin, even if the special committee is encouraged not to because of revenge, don't because they don't like it, don't be angry," he said, Sunday, July 14, 2024.

"It is necessary to object the Hajj Special Committee in carrying out its duties. Do not let the bad past between Cak Imin and Gus Yaqut interfere with the work of the Special Committee," he continued.

Ujang admitted that the Hajj Special Committee could be a 'toy' in the politics of certain parties, including Cak Imin. Moreover, the working period of the Hajj Special Committee is relatively short, which will end in September.

"Can you really work or not? Not necessarily. It can be a political toy that works until October. If the special committee really takes a long time, but if the special committee plays a political game, they don't know the end, what the drama will be like," he said.

Therefore, it is natural to suspect that the formation of the Hajj Special Committee was only to provide Cak Imin's bargaining position to get rid of Gus Yaqut after the relationship between the two broke during the 2024 presidential election.

"Pansus Haji can solve hajj problems, it can also be political, it can also be used to address Gus Yaqut for Cak Imin's bargaining position as well," said Ujang.
