NU Online · Kamis, 19 Januari 2017 | 19:51 WIB
Member of the Advisory Board of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Jusuf Kalla has expressed hopes that Pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) in Indonesia, could become educational institutions teaching tolerance to students.
"Once again, tolerance is mutual respect for each other," said Kalla, after inaugurating the opening of boarding accommodation for students of the Darul Hikmah Pesantren in the Tulungagung District of East Java on Monday.
The Vice President further stated that boarding schools, as religious educational institutions, must be able to teach these principles of tolerance, as stated in the Quran.
According to Kalla, tolerance involves mutual respect for all parties from different religions, ethnics, faiths and groups.
"We must help each other, only then can tolerance happen," he said.
During his visit to Tulungagung District, the Vice President was accompanied by the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Basoeki Hadimuljono and the East Java governor Soekarwo. (Masdar)
