PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man has described former Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim's pledge to support both Umno and PAS as "strange" (janggal).

“His statement to support Umno in the 14th general election and at the same time also supporting PAS is strange.

"Because in the political context PAS and Umno are opponents," he told Malaysiakini when contacted.

Tuan Ibrahim said it was only possible to support one or the other.

"PAS respects his position, but most of the seats PAS is contesting will be against Umno.

"Supporting Umno means going against PAS," he said.

Yesterday, Khalid (centre in photo) made a surprise appearance at the Selangor Umno convention, together with Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

At the event, Khalid had pledged to support both Umno and PAS.

However, Zahid later denied that Umno would enter into a political alliance with PAS.
