Gus Mus: Never involve NU in practical politics

Rembang, Pondok Darussalam Jatibarang. As followers of Ahlussunnah wal Jamaah (Aswaja), Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) has to pay more attention to both the NU identities and the organization rather than the interests of others.

Deputy General Chairman of the Advisory Board (Rais Aam) of NU KH Mustafa Bisri (Gus Mus) made the remarks at a religious gathering attended by thousands of Nahdliyin (NU followers), including NU administrators.

"As Nahdliyin and the followers of H.E. Hadratush Sheikh KH Hasyim Asyari, we must not involve NU in (any) practical politics that can disturb brotherhood among fellow Nahdliyin as organization (jamiyyah)," he said.

Gus Mus said, instead of involving itself pratical politics which is based on practical consideration, NU had long involved in civilized politics which is based on moral considerations.

Meanwhile, the organizing committee, Muhklis, explained, through this gathering the Nahdliyin were expected to have broad understanding in determining and taking political measures which are in line with the so-called Khittah (organization principles).
