Earlier, Sadhvi Prachi was also trying to come to Kasganj, but the administration did not give her permission.

On Friday evening violence in Kasganj began, when some youths were taking tri-color journeys and anti-Muslim slogans, resulting in their clashes with some youths of the Muslim community in Badudanagar area.

The price of oil has hit $70 a barrel for the first time since 2014. Brent crude, the international benchmark for oil prices, jumped after the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) said it would continue to limit supplies. The organisation accounts for 40 percent of the world's output.

Naeem Aslam, the chief market analyst with London-based Think Markets says there are three major factors driving prices up: a supply cut, stability in demand and most importantly, the Aramco IPO.

"The entire reason Saudi Arabia is behind price stability is mainly because of this IPO ... (it is) because of that we have seen the consistency of the supply cut throughout that supply cut decision," says Aslam. "

(This trend) is highly likely to continue. The price could certainly continue to the upside. Why? Because I think there is a stability in terms of demand, especially Chinese demand ... we have seen a 10 percent growth in the last year; over 8 million barrels per day," continues Aslam.

But what does this mean for the average consumer? Will prices for goods and services like transport and flights increase? Aslam believes inflation is inevitable.

"Over in the UK, we have already seen that [price increase affecting our daily lives] in a number of different factors. From a global perspective, higher oil prices have already begun to feed into different parts of the equation."

With US oil production reportedly now set to rival that of Saudi Arabia, how will this prediction affect the global oil production landscape?

Aslam says, "Higher oil production is not the problem as long as the demand is there ... and the stability."

 A new equilibrium: China and France

The presidents of France and China have signed trade deals worth billions during a partnership-building exercise, including aerospace and nuclear energy projects. The three-day visit, aimed at deepening economic ties, was hailed by the two parties as the start of a new era of strategic partnership between the two nations. It also saw a mutual consensus reached on important issues such as global security, promoting free trade and combatting climate change - a vision that's completely at odds with that of US President Donald Trump.

As relationships with the US are fraught with tension and Brexit looms over the UK, is a free trade relationship with China looking evermore appealing to Europe?

"It is really an attractive market," says Philippe Waechter, chief economist at Natixis Bank. "We are in a recovery period and Brexit is something we have to manage. Recovery in Europe is important to everyone: from the US, to Africa, to Asia."

Will Macron's attempts to push for more freedom for French and, ultimately, European businesses to trade in Chinese markets succeed?

"This was the first step in a European strategy," says Waechter. "When we look at world trade, there are three champions: the US, China and Europe ... we have to draw a new equilibrium between China and Europe."

In China, women are in short supply. Thanks to an ancestral preference for boys, and the implementation of the one-child policy, there are now millions more men than women.

It's predicted that one in five single men will never find a woman to marry. This striking gender imbalance is causing not just personal devastation but a potential national crisis.

To avoid becoming a 'bare branch', many single men are resorting to extreme methods to find a bride - kidnapping or buying women from overseas. Anything to help them fulfil their responsibility to secure the future of their family.

It is a new year but the same old story in Yemen. Nearly three years on since the Saudi-led coalition began its military campaign - more people are dying. At least 11 were killed in a Saudi air strike on Wednesday that targeted a market in the northern Saada province.

That region is a stronghold of Houthi rebels who've been in control of much of the country since 2015. The fighting has killed at least 10,000 people and displaced millions more.

Just this week Houthi rebels announced they've built a new locally designed missile to fight against the Saudi-led coalition. And now the rebels are threatening to block the Red Sea shipping lane if the coalition keeps pushing toward the western port city of Hodeidah which the Houthis control.

The UN has called Yemen the world's worst humanitarian crisis, with eight million people on the brink of famine. Thousands of others are suffering from malnutrition and disease including cholera.

So, what's the solution to the conflict in Yemen?

There has been a big revealing of the Aadhaar card's secret information in India. According to the reports, you can buy information related to the Aadhaar of any person by paying only Rs 500.

The English newspaper 'The Tribune' claimed in one of its reports that one of its correspondent took a software from Rs 500 to an unknown person through WhatsApp, through which a data base of about one billion people of India could be obtained.

However UIDAI says that this is a case of wrong reporting. It has been claimed in the report that all the details of the Aadhaar of all of the 500 rupees made in India could still be read. It has been said in the report that the reporter approached an agent who ran the gang and gave Rs 500 through PayTM. After 10 minutes a person gave him a log in ID and password. Through this, the complete information of any Aadhaar number on the portal could be obtained. These information includes name, address, postal code, photo, phone number, and email. Not only this, when the agent was given 300 rupees, he gave the software through which the Aadhaar of any person could be printed.

The report claims that around 100,000 people are involved in this racket. These people are those who have been given the responsibility of forming Aadhar cards across the country under the Common Service Centers Scheme by the Ministry of Electronics and Technical Education. During this time they were given access to the UIDAI data. They are called Village Level Enterprises (VLE).

Last year in november, in view of the danger of Aadhaar data leakage, the government withdrew it from them.

According to the report, nearly one lakh village level enterprise misused the Aadhaar data in the greed of making money. The Congress, Left has given a strong reaction to this news. The Congress has written from its official Twitter account that, "Rs 500. That's all it takes for someone to steal the data of a billion citizens. Envisioned by UPA as a tool for inclusion, #Aadhaar has become an identity theft nightmare under the NDA."

CPI (M) leader Sitaram Yechury has written, "The perils of making Aadhaar mandatory and linking it to bank accounts, as insisted upon by Modi govt, are visible here. Do we need more proof to stop this madness?''

Shashi Tharoor has written, ''How ₹500 is all it takes to buy you unauthorized access to the #Aadhar database.''

However, UIDAI has responded on this news and dismissed this report. UIDAI says that this is a case of wrong reporting. UIDAI said, "We assure that there is no theft of the Aadhaar data and this data is completely secure and protected."

Let tell you that there has been reports of leak of Aadhaar data before this. In November last year, UIDAI also said that the Aadhaar data of the citizens of the country is safe.

Historian Irfan Habib said today that history relies on the events of facts and any attempt to create facts will be considered as imaginative fantasy.

Marxist historian Irfan Habib said that the history of eminent historians Tarachand and Ishwari Prasad is not different from the history written by communist historians. His point was to these allegations that the history of India has been written from the leftist and communist perspective. Habib said on the occasion of Indian History Congress in Kolkata, "Knowledge has expanded, but the assessment is the same. They should know the history of India before speaking such a thing with us, where are we different from Tarachand and Ishwari Prasad."

He said, "I want to tell them that you read the history written by Tarachand and Ishwari Prasad and compare them with the history written by us. Where is the difference? You can not change history because history depends on facts. If you create facts, then it is not history, it is imagination. "

Habib's remarks have come at a time when opposition parties are accusing BJP and RSS to rewrite the history of India and present it as 'tampering' to further its Hindutva agenda. A section of RSS and Hindutva organizations have alleged that left and liberal historians are studying the distorted nature of history in India because these historians have captured the intellectual world since the independence of India.

In India, BJP leader and Rajya Sabha member Subramanian Swamy does not miss to open the front against his own party. He once again attacked the Narendra Modi government. Subramanian Swamy has made sensational allegations against the Center's Modi government.

Subramanian Swamy said that the government had pressurized the central Statistical Organization (CSO) officials to give better financial data, to show that notes ban has not adversely affected the economy and GDP. They have described these figures as fake. This allegation of Subramanian Swamy can lead to the difficulties of the Modi government.

Subramanian Swamy, while addressing a conference of Chartered Accountants in Ahmedabad on Saturday, accused the Central Government of pressurizing to give good data on CSO officials.

He said, "Please do not go to the GDP quarterly data, they are all fake. This is what I am telling you, because my father had established the CSO. Recently I went there with Union Minister Sadanand Gowda (Statistics Minister). He ordered the CSO officials, because there was pressure to issue figures on the notes ban. That is why he is releasing such statistics of GDP, to know that there was no effect of the notes ban. I am feeling nervous, because I know it has an effect. I had asked the CSO director how did you estimate GDP data in that quarter when the decision of the notes ban was taken (November 2016)? "

As Subramanian Swamy, the CSO director told what he can do? He was under pressure. They were asked for data and they gave it. Swamy said that do not trust quarterly figures like this.

This statement of Subramanian Swamy has come at a time when Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has dismissed the fears regarding the notes ban and GST's adverse effects. He also cited the economic growth rate of 6.3 percent in September 2017. It was 5.7 in June.

Subramanian Swamy told the Chartered Accountant that they should not believe Moody's, Fitch like. You can get the figures by giving them money. It is known that Moody's recently upgraded India's rating.

In India every year dozens of people have to die in communal riots. Apart from this, there is also a loss of property on a wider scale. The Indian government has shared the information of incidents of communal violence that took place in the last three years.

According to official statistics, there have been 2,098 such incidents in three years. The BJP-ruled states are at the top. In India the central government gave this information in parliament on Wednesday. Despite all claims to deal with communal violence, there is not much success in preventing it.

In the case of communal riots, the state of BJP ruled states is worse than other states.

According to information provided by the Center in India, there were about 2100 communal riots in India. The most communal riots in India occurred in Uttar Pradesh. Where is the BJP government. This is followed by another BJP-ruled state of Maharashtra.

India's Home Ministry said that in the last three years, 450 incidents of communal violence took place in Uttar Pradesh. It killed 77 people. Apart from this, there were 270 riots in Maharashtra. It killed 32 people. Apart from this, there was also a loss of property on a wider scale in communal riots.

It is known that there are many communal riots in different parts of India every year. The Home Ministry of India collects the data related to it.

There is a BJP government in both Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. In the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections this year, the BJP won a massive majority and formed the government. After becoming the Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath assured the state of abolishing the crime. Earlier, Uttar Pradesh had SP's government and Akhilesh Yadav was the chief minister.

At the same time, in Maharashtra, BJP formed a government in collaboration with Shiv Sena. Earlier, the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party were coalition government.

In addition to his statement in returning to power in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi should thank Nitish Kumar and Mayawati. It is important for BJP to give special thanks to Mayawati, whose elephant is cutting the Congress vote.

There are at least 20 such seats went to BJP's account, where the difference of victory is only 300-400 to one thousand votes.

According to experts, Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party gets votes of two to four thousand at these places.

Like Nitish Kumar, Mayawati's account is not open anywhere, but Nitish is not lagging behind with loyalty to Modi.

The question arises that why Nitish Kumar, who broke the Maha coalition in Bihar and formed a government with BJP, did not contest elections with Modi's BJP in Gujarat? If Nitish contested in collaboration with Modi, how could he burglary in the secular votes bank?

The role of Mayawati and Nitish Kumar in the Gujarat elections was to 'votes cutters', which resulted in a huge loss to the Congress, while BJP survived a certain defeat in Gujarat and came back to power.

In the Gujarat elections, Mayawati and Nitish Kumar did the job of breaking in the secular vote. By doing so, Mayawati and Nitish Kumar benefited to BJP in the Gujarat elections. Now the time has come that people should avoid voting Mayawati and Nitish Kumar.

Mayawati's politics is unmatched. It is a matter of the unity of the opposition, the Bhim army of Chandrasekhar, the Dalit oppression in Una of Gujarat, the movement of Jignesh Mewani, not to take anything from anyone.

Remember, in the elections held in 2004 after the 2002 communal riots, Mayawati had campaigned in the support of BJP in Gujarat.

In the analysis of the results of Gujarat assembly elections, Congress lost at least 11 seats less than 2,000 margins, where BSP got more votes than this margin.

In which seats the Congress is defeated with very few votes. They are: The Congress candidates have lost 258 from Godhra, 327 from Dholka, 906 from Botad, 1712 from Himmatnagar, 2318 from Khambat, 1855 from Porbandar, 2551 from Prantij, 2179 from Rajkot Rural, Umreth to 1883, Vagra from 2370 and 1164 votes from Vijapur. In these seats the Bahujan Samaj Party got more votes than the margin of defeat of these candidates.

If the Bahujan Samaj Party's candidates were not standing in these seats, the result of Gujarat would be something else. BJP loses election and Congress government becomes Gujarat.
