TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Incumbent Central Java Governor candidate Ganjar Pranowo became the main highlight on social media after reading a poem written by Kiai Ahmad Mustofa Bisri, also known as Gus Mus.
The poem, titled 'Kau Ini Bagaimana atau Aku Harus Bagaimana' was read by Ganjar during the 'Rosi: Candidate Talk' program aired on a private television station in early March 2018 and has since caused a controversy.
The poem, spread by many accounts on Twitter and Instagram is considered to discredit Islam.
"People who slandered me have apologized," said Ganjar on Sunday, April 8, 2018.
The accounts spreading the poem among others are: @lensa.rakyat, @fakhri_zoe, @infonetes, @gaultapi_islamy on Instagram, and a Twitter account @farisssss43.
