Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) youth wing GP Ansor chairman Yaqut Cholil Qoumas (center) holds a press briefing on Wednesday, October 24, 2018 to respond to a recent burning of a black flag bearing an Islamic creed allegedly by members of NU’s Barisan Ansor Serbaguna (Banser) youth wing. GP Ansor said it would give a stern warning to Banser members, but has maintained that the flag was that of the banned Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) and, therefore, burning it was not an act of blasphemy.
