Menko Yusril Luruskan Tuduhan: Saya Bukan Penulis Buku Islam ala Prabowo
Menko Kumham Imipas Yusril Ihza Mahendra meluruskan bahwa dirinya bukan penulis buku 'Islam ala Prabowo', melainkan hanya sebagai narasumber wawancara yang dilakukan jauh sebelum ia dilantik sebagai menteri. Ia tidak terlibat dalam penentuan judul, penggagasan, maupun pembiayaan penerbitan, dan baru membaca buku tersebut secara utuh setelah diterbitkan. Yusril menegaskan pandangan yang ia sampaikan dalam wawancara dapat dipertanggungjawabkan secara akademik dan berharap publik menilai substansi buku, bukan sekadar judulnya.
