In addition, a Medan singer Indah Nevertari, who won the audition of Rising Star Indonesia in 2014, will be present at the event.
"Moreover, Minister Lukman Hakim will host the talk show," he revealed.
UIN Rector of North Sumatra Prof. Saidurrahman stated that the program of Indonesia Reading Qur`an was intended to promote closeness and invite society in strengthening the spirit of Indonesia and Islam, so that both remain united as an Indonesian nation.
Head of Sub Directorate of Research and Dedication to the Diktis Society of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, as the leading sector of the Indonesia Reading Qur`an program, Suwendi stated that the program will be organized in several Islamic religious colleges in the country on a regular basis.

"This is a part of the Ministry of Religious Affairs` efforts to discuss the nation`s problems and solutions, especially with regard to the religious social approach, so that people will have good understanding and knowledge," he explained.
