Head of the West Java Provincial National Unity and Political Agency, HR Iip Hidajat, said that his party received information that there would be an envoy from Panji Gumilang, the head of the Al-Zaytun Islamic Boarding School, who came to Gedung Sate to submit answers regarding alleged heretical teachings at the pesantren. "So, we are seven working days, until Tuesday tomorrow, but there was information that the Al-Zaytun envoy brought the file for answers," said Iip Hidayat at Gedung Sate, Bandung City, Antara, Monday, June 26. He said that based on the Decree of the Governor of West Java, the investigation team still had one day until Tuesday, June 27, to confirm or tabayun to the Head of the Al-Zaytun Islamic Boarding School, Panji Gumilang. If it is true that the Panji Gumilang envoy came to Gedung Sate with an answer, the West Java Provincial Government would submit the answer to the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD. "And this important point has been taken over by the center, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, but our seven-day task ends tomorrow. However, today or tomorrow an answer will come, we will accept it as material to complete it with the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs," he said. Later, continued Iip, the answer from Panji Gumilang will be stated in the form of a written letter along with data according to clarification questions submitted by the investigation team. "It was written because at the beginning of the meeting he asked for time to prepare a written answer with the data. We'll see what the results will be," he said. He emphasized that the investigation team would no longer call Panji Gumilang or visit the Al-Zaytun Islamic Boarding School. "I think it's finished because it has been taken over. This is because there is only time left when there is information that it will be brought to Bandung, we will accept it as a team, to be submitted to the center," he said. Currently, the West Java Provincial Government is only tasked with maintaining conducive gibbons because other problems have been taken over by the central government. Meanwhile, West Java Governor M. Ridwan Kamil said the task of the investigation team in tabayun to the Al-Zaytun Islamic Boarding School in Indramayu Regency would be completed on Tuesday (27/6). "The investigation team will be completed tomorrow, Tuesday. Now, just regular. There is a movement that is being encouraged, anticipated by the Indramayu Police and so on, we will go to someone else, we will tell them," he said. In addition to the task of the investigation team being completed, added the Governor, the issue of the Al-Zaytun Islamic Boarding School has now been taken over by the central government. "There is no new information. Please the media wait for a technical presentation from the Coordinating Minister because it has been withdrawn at the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs level," he said. Ridwan Kamil added that currently it is the duty of the West Java Provincial Government to only coordinate with legal officials to maintain a conducive situation in the West Java region, especially Indramayu.

"My task from the Coordinating Minister is only the third point. Securing, maintaining the conduciveness of socio-political affairs in the West Java region," he said.
