JAKARTA - The relationship between PBNU and PKB which heated up after the formation of the DPR Hajj Special Committee led to the discourse of extraordinary deliberation (MLB) to remove Yahya Cholil Staqub (Gus Yahya) as Chairman of PBNU.

A number of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) residents think that Gus Yahya cannot maintain harmonization with PKB through his statements.

Responding to the emergence of the discourse on MLB PBNU, Deputy Chairperson of PKB, Jazilul Fawaid emphasized that his party would not interfere. According to him, MLB is a matter for NU residents.

"Want MLB PBNU? When? What is clear is that PKB does not participate in the MLB PBNU affairs. If there is, please NU or NU people who carry out it, there is no relationship with PKB," said Jazilul, Tuesday, July 30.

Although the majority of Nahdliyin are PKB cadres, Jazilul said, the party chaired by Muhaimin Iskandar alias Cak Imin will not intervene in PBNU sovereignty.

If NU residents want to implement MLB to select the new PBNU Ketum, said Jazilul, PKB will not support or hinder it.

"PKB does not intervene in what is the sovereignty of PBNU. If there are cadres, the congregation wants MLB, we will also not hinder it and will not support it. Our position respects the dynamics," explained Jazilul.

When asked about PBNU's need to create a new political party so as not to disturb PKB, Jazilul emphasized that his party would not suggest anything. According to him, PKB respects every step and decision taken by PBNU.

"We don't make any sense, we respect PBNU as a mass organization or anything, please. We still respect the position of PBNU and PKB as having historical relationships," he said.
