Addressing the media at the party headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Khalid (left) said that this could be done by showing the agenda and minutes of the meeting that was said to have been part of the "conspiracy|". He said this would be proof that the meeting was an official one, and would clear the council and the Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (Jais) of the accusation.
"If (the meeting) was unofficial, then why did Mais and Jais attend, along with NGO representatives and officials from the Attorney-General's Chambers?" he asked.
Khalid, who is also Selangor PAS deputy commissioner, said Adzib could also prove his claim that the memorandum, sent to the Selangor Sultan after the meeting, had nothing to do with unseating the Pakatan Rakyat menteri besar by publishing the document.
Why explain to NGOs before reporting to MB?
"If they had no ill-intentions, why did Mais and Jais come together to give an explanation about the Damansara Utama Methodist Church issue to the NGOs when Jais is yet to submit a report on the incident to the MB?" he further asked.
Khalid also took a personal swipe against Adzib, showing a photograph that the MP said raised doubts on the Mais head's independence. 
The photograph shows Adzib (middle in white slacks), attending a mosque function alongside Hulu Selangor MP P Kamalanathan who is from BN.
"He needs to explain this," he added.
Khalid in his blog yesterday raisedsuspicion that Mais, Jais, the AG's Chambers and several Islamic NGOs were plotting to topple the MB.
He said he had learnt that the meeting was to discuss Khalid Ibrahim's approach to Jais' Aug 3 search at a hall in the DUMC compound, where a dinner was going on, and to come up with a memorandum on this to be sent to the Selangor Sultan.
However, Adzib has reportedly denied the allegation, saying that the meeting was just to explain to the NGOs what had happened.
He said that the decision to send a memorandum was independent of Jais and Mais.
Khalid banned from speaking in mosques, surau
Meanwhile, on a related matter, Mais said in a statement to the press that Khalid was not accredited to speak on matters of religion in mosques and surau throughout Selangor.
Adzib said that the ruling was based on Section 119 of the Administration of the Religion of Islam (State of Selangor) Enactment 2003.
Teaching Islam in Selangor without an accreditation is punishable with a fine of not more than RM3,000 or not more than two years' jail or both.
"Khalid's appeal on the matter was rejected by the accreditation council at its meeting on June 23.
"This is in line with the Selangor Sultan's decree that no politician is allowed to speak in mosques and surau in Selangor," Adzib said.
Commenting on this, Khalid said he was initially told in 2009 that his application for accreditation was rejected as he had a criminal record.
His follow-up queries on the matter, he said, were ignored.
"(After that) on Oct 30, 2009, Jais told me, 'Forget it, (you) were never given accreditation because you're not qualified'," Khalid added.
