Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Minister of Religion Ruby Cholil Qoumas officially opened by President Joko Widodo to replace Fachrul Razi, at the Palace, on Wednesday (12/23).
Yaqut, who still holds the status of General Leader of the Ansor Youth Movement (GP Ansor), is known for very openly criticizing issues related to the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) and its high priest. Rizieq Shihab.
In early November 2020, Yaqut criticized the response to Rizieq Shihab’s return from Saudi Arabia. Rizieq’s return at that time paralyzed access to Soekarno Hatta Airport.
“And of course, in the future, there will be no more noise,” Yaqut told CNNIndonesia.com, Thursday (11/12).
Yaqut also criticized Rizieq’s return for wanting to carry out a revolution upon arrival in Indonesia. According to him, Rizieq was not strong enough to carry out this revolution.
Later, Rizieq said that the revolutionary effort he was referring to was called the Moral Revolution.
“Absolutely do not believe it. You do not have the strength and sufficient prerequisites to carry out this revolution,” Yaqut said on Wednesday (10/14).
Yaqut also responded to the case of crowds in the Petamburan area of central Jakarta, as a result of the Prophet’s birthday and Princess Rizieq Shihab’s wedding in mid-November 2020.
Yaqut considered that there were figures in Petamburan who did not care about their own safety amid the Corona virus after the incident.
“This case also shows that the Petamburan figures do not care about the safety of their congregation,” Yaqut said in a speech at the National Banser Virtual Appeal, in Rembang Regency, on Sunday (11/29).

The Petamburan crowd incident later caught Rizieq Shihab and 5 other people who were involved as committee members as suspects by the police.
As a result of Rizieq’s determination as a suspect, elements of society from FPI, PA 212 to GNPF Ulama planned to carry out an action titled 1812 on Friday (12/18).
Seeing this, Yaqut also criticized the action plan. He called on FPI supporters and supporters up to PA 212 not to carry out the 1812 demonstration because it could be a disaster for the spread of Covid-19.
“We must protect each other from this pandemic situation. It will not be a source of disaster for others,” Yaqut said.
Long before that, Yaqut admitted that he would not accept President Joko Widodo stopping the case that caught Rizieq after meeting with Alumni 212 officials. This aired in mid-April 2018.
It is known, at that time, several figures who were members of the 212 Alumni Brotherhood and the Fatwa Ulama National Guard Movement (GNPF) met with Jokowi at the Bogor Palace to discuss cases of criminalization of ulama.
“Let the court decide. The president does not need to intervene,” Yaqut said. CNNIndonesia.com.

Jokowi at the time said that the meeting was simply an ordinary meeting. He stated that he did not mention the alleged criminalization of the ulama at the meeting.
“Their enthusiasm is to establish links with the ulama, habib, kiai, ustad from all the provinces of the country,” Jokowi said.
In his travels, GP Ansor, an organization led by Yaqut and FPI, is often seen crossing diverse attitudes and actions in the community.
Yaqut himself admitted this. Diplomatically, Yaqut emphasized the cold relationship between the Muslim mass organizations.
“Ansor has never felt hostile or unfriendly towards FPI. If later in the field there are confrontations between Ansor and FPI it is more because Ansor is against the attitude, not against the organization,” said Yaqut opening a response to the interview. CNNIndonesia.com in early August 2017.
Yaqut is a man born in Rembang, Central Java on January 4, 1975. He is the son of the famous Kiai Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and the founder of PKB, Muhammad Cholil Bisri.
Before being appointed minister, Yaqut assumed the position of Chief General of GP Ansor. His political career, including one that passes very quickly. He was appointed by PKB President Muhaimin Iskandar to serve as PKB President for Defense and Security as a result of Congress in August 2019.

The deputy secretary general of the General Novel of the Brotherhood of Past Pupils 212, Bamukmin, hopes that Yaqut Cholil Qoumas will not make a scene after serving as minister of religion.
“Hopefully it doesn’t become a noisy country,” Novel said. CNNIndonesia.com, Tuesday (12/22).
