PM Modi seen off by Dy PM Anwar

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was seen off at the Malaysian airport by former PM Anwar Ibrahim and his wife Wan Azizah, who is the current Deputy PM, before departing to Singapore,
Modi is the first foreign leader Anwar has met after being released from prison. He was jailed for sodomy three years ago.
Anwars release was the first big success of the newly elected governing coalition, Pakatan Harapan, led by 92-year-old Mahathir Mohamad, which was swept into power after a shock election victory.
Few in Malaysia have been persecuted for their political views and popularity like Anwar, a man with three prison sentences and 11 years in jail to his name. The pardon was filed on the basis of a miscarriage of justice, thus clearing his name entirely.
It was his first taste of freedom since 2015, following a prison sentence widely perceived as politically motivated; a manoeuvre by former prime minister Najib Razak to get rid of a feared political rival who had run against him and won the popular vote in the 2013 general election.

JD-S get finance portfolio, Cong gets Home in Karnataka:  

Janata Dal-Secular-Congress coalition in Karnataka has solved the cabinet tussle.
The JD-S will get the finance ministry, while the Congress will get to keep the home ministry.
Apart from the home ministry, the Congress would get heavy industries, energy, IT/BT, travel and education portfolios. While JD-S will hold revenue and co-operative affairs ministries.
The Congress and JD-S formed a post-poll alliance on May 15 after the BJP had staked claim of forming the government. But the move turned out to be a major embarrassment for BS Yeddyurappa, who had to quit as chief minister within days of staking claim.
HD Kumaraswamy was then sworn in as the Karnataka chief minister and G Paramewshara took over as his deputy.
