"We will prepare the evidence to report Ganjar," the IKAMI's secretary Djuju Purwantoro told Tempo on Tuesday, April 10.
The Central Java governor candidate Ganjar Pranowo was said to insult Islam by reciting the poetry written by KH Mustofa Bisri in a private television station last March and spread the video in the social media on March 10, despite the work is not belong to him.
Based on Law No. 19/2016 Article 28 (2) in conjunction with Article 45A (2), IKAMI deemed some verse of the poetry contained religious blasphemy, including adhan which used as prayer call said to be a tool for calling the God. "Many netizens negatively responded the video," said Djuju.
Djuju stated as a public figure and state official, Ganjar Pranowo should be more aware and able to assess and review every verse of the poem he cited.
