Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali on Wednesday played down the seriousness of a recent attack on an Islamic boarding school in Pasuruan, East Java, saying it was just an ordinary student brawl.
“I was informed that the incident was just an ordinary brawl among students of Islamic boarding schools,” Suryadharma said Wednesday in Jakarta, as quoted by antaranews.com.
He said Tuesday’s attack had occurred because students had been mocking each other, adding that police would thoroughly investigate the case.
A caretaker of Al Ma’hadul Islam Boarding School had earlier suspected the attack may have been because its teachings were different to the majority of boarding schools in the area.
