PAS has denied inviting embattled Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim to join the Islamic party during a meeting on Saturday night.

Party secretary-general Mustafa Ali (below) claimed that he and PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang visited the MB's residence in relation to the fasting month.

"I went to (Khalid's house) because of puasa. He (Khalid) has not met 'tok guru' (Hadi) for a long time.

"If we want to talk (about Khalid joining PAS), it would take a long time. We met him at 11pm after tarawikh prayers," he told reporters.

Speculation of Khalid joining PAS began to make the rounds after a photograph of the PKR leader and the PAS duo sitting together was shared on the social media.

Prior to this, the menteri besar being photographed at a buka puasa event with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak led to talks of him joining Umno.

Yesterday, Khalid denied that the was joining Umno or PAS.

Commenting on PAS’ stand on the Selangor MB debacle, Mustafa said that the party will adhere to what is agreed upon at the Pakatan presidential council.

The council will will meet before the Hari Raya  Aidilfitri celebrations at the end July.

“Whatever it is, we have to make the decision together, and for this we have to adhere to the presidential council.

“I will not put a timeframe for when this issue is expected to be resolved, but whatever that is done must be done through the presidential council,” he said.

Rafizi denies he's behind fake sms

Meanwhile, PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli denied that he was the one behind the fake news claiming that Khalid will have an audience with the sultan to tender his resignation.

A police report has been lodged regarding the text message, circulating on social media and instant messaging applications, for purportedly insulting the sultan.

Rafizi, however, said that the reports were slanderous and lodged by his political enemies in Umno.

“To me, this is only a game by Umno, as only Umno-owned media is playing up the issue.

“They think that the Kajang Move is not popular among PKR members and that this is an opportune time to topple me. They are wrong,” he told Malaysiakini when met.

An individual claiming to be a Kapar PKR member lodged a police report in Klang yesterday, alleging that Rafizi had spread libel using the Selangor sultan’s name.

A group calling themselves ‘Youths in Support of Menteri Besar’ (Pasmeb) have gone to the media to criticise Rafizi on this.
