JAKARTA - Secretary General (Secretary General) of the National Awakening Party (PKB) Hasanuddin Wahid did not attend the invitation of the Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board team to ask for information regarding the polemic between PBNU and PKB.

Originally, Hasanuddin was asked to come to the PBNU office at 12.30 WIB, however, he never came.

Rais Syuriah PBNU, who is also a member of the Cholil Nafis panel team, regretted Hasanuddin's absence.

"It should have been present at 12.30 according to our invitation, but we waited until 2.30 earlier, I also came down from above and there was no confirmation of his arrival. Even though he really needed to attend," said Cholil at the PBNU office, Central Jakarta, Monday, August 5.

Until now, Hasanuddin has not provided any news regarding the confirmation of the fulfillment of the invitation to PBNU.

"So far, there has been no information whether or not it has arrived. But last week, letters via WA, or delivered directly, we have done it to the PKB DPP office," said Cholil.

Thus, the panel team will continue to extract information related to the problem of disharmony between PBNU and PKB by asking for information from other figures.

"We will invite several related figures who do have the information we need to collect sufficient information to become PBNU policies," he said.

Previously, the panel team had summoned the former Secretary General of PKB Lukman Edy to provide information on Wednesday, July 31.

At that time, Lukman Edy explained that one of the triggers for this problem could occur because PKB Chairman Cak Imin removed the authority of the Shura Council which contained NU kiai in making party decisions.

The removal of the Syuro Council's authority occurred when PKB held a congress in Bali in 2019. At that time, Cak Imin returned to his position as chairman of the party for further management.

"In the past, the mandatory of the PKB Congress was the Shura Council. It was the Shura Council that gave approval if we wanted to raise the chairman, the A, B, or C. But since the congress in Bali, most of the Syuro Council's authority has been removed within the AD/ART. So, we don't see the role of the syuro council anymore," said Lukman Edy at the PBNU Office, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, July 31.

Not only the central level management, since the congress in Bali 5 years ago, Cak Imin also eliminated decision making to overhaul the party structure at the regional leadership council (DPW) level to the branch leadership council (DPC).

"Not only determining strategic party policy policies, but it can even dismiss DPW, it can dismiss DPC without deliberation, without any regional deliberation or branch deliberation. It can even negate the results of branch deliberations and the results of regional deliberation. So, the authority is centralized to the general chairman," said Lukman.
