        "summary": "PBNU Chairman KH Yahya Cholil Staquf has dismissed criticism from PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar, who called for a leadership change in the Islamic organisation. Gus Yahya argued that Cak Imin's assessment lacked understanding of NU's internal dynamics, pointing out that he has never served as an official at any level of the organisation. He claimed that fundamental progress has been made during the current leadership period, a fact he believes is acknowledged by NU members at all levels.",
        "content": "<p>The General Chairman of the Nahdlatul Ulama Executive Board (PBNU),\nKH Yahya Cholil Staquf, has responded to criticism from the General\nChairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Muhaimin Iskandar, who\nhad previously called for a change in PBNU leadership on the grounds\nthat there had been no change over the past five years. Gus Yahya\nassessed that Cak Imin\u2019s judgement was not based on a complete\nunderstanding of Nahdlatul Ulama\u2019s organisational dynamics. According to\nhim, Cak Imin has never served as an NU official at any level and\ntherefore does not know about the changes that have occurred within the\norganisation. \u2018Please check if Mr Muhaimin made such a statement. But I\nthink this can be verified with the ranks of officials and NU members.\nIf Mr Muhaimin said that, I think it is because he may not fully\nunderstand NU, as he has never been an NU official at any level in his\nentire life,\u2019 Gus Yahya said during a press conference at the PBNU\nBuilding in Jakarta on Tuesday. He even stated that Cak Imin has never\nbeen an official at the branch level. \u2018He has never even been a\nbranch-level official. So he does not know what the changes are like, he\nsimply does not know,\u2019 he remarked. According to Gus Yahya, if asked,\nofficials and grassroots NU members would acknowledge the fundamental\nprogress achieved during this PBNU leadership period. \u2018Meanwhile, if you\ncheck with the NU ranks down to the grassroots, I think no one can deny\nthe fundamental advances that have been achieved during this management\nperiod,\u2019 he said.<\/p>",
