JAKARTA - Chairman of the KNPI DPP Noer Fajrieansyah defended the Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas (Gus Yaqut) regarding the statement that the Ministry of Religion was a state gift to NU. According to him, the statement is internal and does not need to be questioned.
"It's an internal NU forum, it's clear that the intent is to motivate students," said Fajrie in a written statement, Antara, Tuesday, October 26.
Fajrie emphasized that the public must remember that since the stipulation of santri day as a national day, it has become a matter of pride for all santri, alumni of pesantren, kiai, and of course the nation.
"The struggle of the santri and kiai deserves appreciation from the state. This is what I see from the statement of the Minister of Religion, the context is more about appreciation and motivation," explained Fajrie.
As previously reported, Gus Yaqut's remarks at the NU internal forum for the National Santri Day (HSN) went viral and sparked controversy. At that time, Gus Yaqut said that the Ministry of Religion was a gift for Nahdlatul Ulama (NU).
Fajrie is sure that all figures, when invited to an internal forum, will say the same thing. It's just a matter of how the attitude and breakthrough are seen.
"There is nothing wrong with what the Minister of Religion said. Because it was proven that during his leadership in the ministry of religion, all religious roles were wide open, NU and Muhammadiyah were also given the same role," explained Fajrie.
"We young people, to be honest, really idolize him, because he embraces all young people across religions, ethnicities and groups. He is a firm and open type of leader," continued Fajrie.
He said that KNPI as a place for young people to gather across organizations, from before becoming the minister of religion until now, has idolized the leadership of Gus Yaqut. Because clearly his contribution to the religion of the nation and state.
"So we invite young people to learn leadership from him. We hope that this polemic will end soon," he said.
