Mahfud MD said that the Ponpes led by Panji Gumilang would not be disbanded. However, according to him, the problems that occurred at the Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School should not drag on any longer. The handling of the problems that occur must be resolved immediately without having to disband the Islamic Boarding School which is located in Mekarjaya Village, Gantar District, Indramayu Regency.
“So Al Zaytun can no longer drag on for 20 years like now. Because in 2022 it has appeared, every time it appears and then disappears again, you want elections to appear again. Now finish with a note, Al Zaytun as a Islamic boarding school will not be disbanded,” said Mahfud MD was quoted from the Viva page, Wednesday, July 12, 2023.
Mahfud MD also said that the boarding school and school at Al Zaytun were considered good so far. Although indeed, it is necessary to carry out guidance by the Ministry of Religion.
