According to him, the Twitter account of the organization has recently posted inappropriate tweets.

"Lately, the tweets do not reflect the set rules. They tend to be argumentative. The jokes are not appropriate and tend to be hurtful," said Gus Ipul.

One example, Gus Ipul assessed, was when the Twitter account @dpp_pkb congratulated the NU inauguration process, and @nahdlatululama replied: "next time, don't be late to congratulate."

"We have received many complaints from netizens as well as from institutions who feel uncomfortable with @nahdlatululama's tweets," said Gus Ipul. (mcr10/mcr20/jpnn)
