Shadow board of executives

Shadow board of executives

From Kompas

As a Moslem I am deeply concerned over the row occurring in the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) organization. Uncontrolled ambition has made an ulema act contrary to the qualities of an ulema. In this case, Abu Hasan with his group, who do not want to accept the result of the NU Congress held in Cipasung, has formed a "shadow" NU board of executives.

Is he not aware that as a member of an organization, one must abide by the rules stipulated in the Order of Organization and the bylaw. All activities must be based on the organization's regulations.

I wonder whether Abu Hasan's actions are in line with NU's values. We are witnessing a phenomenon in the NU organization which does not reflect the virtues of an ordinary Moslem, let alone an ulema.
