JAKARTA - National Awakening Party (PKB) politician Luqman Hakim asked the Minister of Education and Culture (Mendikbud) Nadiem Makarim to evaluate the total historical documents that have been published by the state. As a follow-up to an apology to the Nahdlatul Ulama Board (PBNU), Thursday, April 22.
"If that is not done, Nadiem Makarim's attendance at the PBNU will only be an effort to seek political asylum so that President Jokowi does not remove him," Luqman said in his statement, Thursday, April 22.
According to him, in order to rectify the wrong history, the Minister of Education and Culture is advised to collaborate with competent parties, including the PBNU.
Luqman appreciated the Minister of Education and Culture's friendship to the PBNU which at the same time provided clarification and apologized regarding the controversy over the Indonesian History Dictionary Volume I. Because it did not include the names of NU founder KH Hasyim Asyari and President KH Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) in the history of the establishment and character building of the Indonesian nation.
However, Luqman assessed that the Minister of Education and Culture's apology to PBNU was not enough to bring relief. Because so far, he said, NU's extended family has often been the victim of manipulative and dishonest historical compilation. For example, Luqman continued, about the NU Jihad Resolution on October 22, 1945 which contained a fatwa that it is obligatory for every Muslim to fight for independence against invaders who came back. "However, so far it has been hidden from historical documents. In fact, that was the beginning of the Surabaya battle which gave birth to Heroes' Day on November 10, ”said Luqman.
Therefore, the deputy chairman of Commission II of the DPR urged the government to make the case of manipulating the Indonesian History Dictionary as a momentum to review all historical documents of the nation's journey.
"The straightening of history will be one of the noble and valuable legacies of President Jokowi if it is carried out seriously," he said.
Questioning, the names of KH Hasyim Asy'ari and Gus Dur were not included in the Indonesian History Dictionary, Luqman suspected that the Ministry of Education and Culture had been infiltrated by counter-NKRI forces who wanted to divide the Indonesian nation by discriminating against certain groups in society through historical writing, in this case the NU group. .
He also asked President Jokowi to evaluate the Ministry of Education and Culture thoroughly so that it can rid this ministry of forces that want to divide the nation. "There must be found parties who deliberately and systematically manipulate by eliminating the role of ulama and Islamic organizations in the history of the nation. It doesn't matter who does it and when it is done, ”said Luqman Hakim.
