Prominent Indonesian politician Yenny Wahid has criticized the recent demonstrations and acts of vandalism occurring at the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Congress in Jombang. Wahid stated that such displays of anger and destruction are not representative of NU’s established culture. She emphasized that NU traditionally prioritizes deliberation and consensus-building as methods for conflict resolution. The comments come amidst reports of unrest during the congress, the details of which remain unclear. Wahid’s statement aims to distance the organization from the violent incidents and reaffirm its commitment to peaceful dialogue. She believes the disruptive behavior is an anomaly, not reflective of NU’s core values and longstanding traditions. This incident raises questions about internal tensions within the influential Islamic organization.
