Yogyakarta (Antaranews Jogja) - Candidate for Vice President Number 01 Ma`ruf Amin is ready to echo the jargon of "Islam Nusantara" and "Islam Berkemajuan" (progress) that has been called upon by the Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah.
This was conveyed by Amin after meeting former chairman of the Muhammadiyah, PP Muhammadiyah Maya, at Syafii`s residence, Nogotirto Housing, Gamping, Sleman, on Monday.
"I will always support not only Nusantara Islam but also advancing Islam," Amin stated.
According to Amin, this commitment was based on input from Syafii that Amin, as a NU figure as well as a vice president, did not merely bring the Islamic Nusantara jargon, because there are Muhammadiyah who are calling the progress of Islam.
"I am from NU and it is often the jargon of Islam Nusantara. According to Syafii, it not only Islamic Nusantara but also Islam itself which has become the motto of Muhammadiyah," he explained.
In the brief meeting, Amin was received by Shafi in the family room. Syafii was a close friend of Amin. Later, the two figures also sat on the Steering Board of the Pancasila Ideology Development Board (BPIP).
"I have to quit the BPIP just because I was a vice president. That is the rule," he added.
According to Amin, there are a number of messages Syafii had entrusted him, including his readiness to become vice president for all Indonesians in a fair manner, both to the supporters and political opponents, if he is elected as vice president in the 2019 presidential election.
"We will still apply the same rule whether they are supporters or political rivals," he noted.
