The Forum Musyawarah Kubro at Pondok Pesantren Lirboyo in Kediri has urged both sides in the Pengurus Besar Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) to reconcile through islah to end the internal conflict. PBNU General Chairman Yahya Cholil Staquf expressed his readiness to undergo examination on any accusations against him. This marks the third such meeting, highlighting deep concern over the organization's damaged reputation.
