Khabar South Asia:
NU leader says government should be neutral in matters of religion, and urges dialogue with such groups.
………. Governor Ganjar Pranowo indicated people in the province should be able to practice their faith. And local Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) leaders say they will approach the minority group through dialogue.
“The governor suggests not disbanding Ahmadiyah. If at some point people argue that their teaching is not in accordance with Islam, he suggests assisting the group instead of alienating them,” said Abu Hafsin, chairman of the NU regional board (PWNU), following a meeting with Ganjar in Semarang on October 17th.
