印度安全部队已加强戒备，此时由“Z世代”主导的“蟑螂民众党”、其他学生团体及反对派势力正准备在新德里和孟买举行抗议活动。
Indian security forces have clamped down as the Gen Z-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), other student coalitions and opposition forces gathered for planned protests in New Delhi and Mumbai.
周五，数百名警察及准军事人员包围了首都中心地带的抗议地点，当示威者陆续抵达时便被强行押上巴士。“蟑螂民众党”上周曾警告政府：若选举委员会主席不在选民名单争议事件中引咎辞职，该党将发起全国性抗议。
Hundreds of police and paramilitary personnel surrounded a barricaded protest site in the centre of the capital on Friday and bundled demonstrators into buses as they arrived. The CJP warned the government last week that it would launch nationwide protests unless the Election Commission chief resigned amid a voter roll controversy.
当局在抗议者聚集的简塔曼塔天文台周边封闭了至少11个地铁站，并通过扩音器反复发出解散人群的命令。据《印度时报》报道，德里警方此前还依据第163条法规实施管制，该条款禁止五人以上聚集、使用口号、发表演讲及其他任何形式的抗议行为。
Authorities closed at least 11 metro stations around the Jantar Mantar observatory, where the protesters were assembling, and repeatedly issued warnings to disperse from loudspeakers. Delhi Police earlier imposed Section 163, which bars gatherings of more than five people, the use of slogans, speechmaking and other protest activities, The Times of India reported.
下午3点左右的消息称，新德里已有超过500人遭逮捕，其中包括前德里首席部长阿蒂希·马尔莱纳、“平民党”成员以及各学生组织成员。
Reports about 3pm (09:30 GMT) suggested that more than 500 people – including former Delhi Chief Minister Atishi Marlena, members of the Aam Aadmi opposition party and members of student organisations – had been arrested in New Delhi.
据路透社报道，一名名叫里沙布·辛格的示威者在被警察推上巴士时说道：“抗议权是我们的基本权利，我们要求政府就选举舞弊问题给出解释。”
“The right to protest is our fundamental right, and we want answers from the government on vote theft,” demonstrator Rishabh Singh said as police shoved him into a bus, according to the Reuters news agency.
在孟买，原定于下午4点开始的抗议活动使得希瓦吉公园的人群逐渐增多。大量警力在该区域巡逻，并划定了禁停区。
In Mumbai, where protests were planned to begin at 4pm (10:30 GMT), a crowd slowly grew in Shivaji Park. A heavy police presence patrolled the area, where they also declared a no-parking zone.
此次抗议活动由“蟑螂民众党”发起。此前《印度快报》披露，首席选举委员吉亚内什·库马尔的两名副手在过去10个月内，就选民名单修改、登记程序及数字系统问题至少14次正式提出过担忧。
Protesters react as police try to detain them in New Delhi on October 2, 2026 [Adnan Abidi/Reuters] The CJP called the latest round of protests after the Indian Express newspaper reported that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s two deputies had formally raised concerns at least 14 times in the past 10 months over revisions to voter lists, registration procedures and digital systems.
批评者指出，去年在全国范围内开展的选民身份核查工作导致数百万符合投票资格的选民被从选民名单中删除。他们认为这些变动实际上有利于纳伦德拉·莫迪领导的印度人民党（Bharatiya Janata Party）。
Critics said a nationwide voter-verification exercise launched last year led to millions of eligible voters being removed from electoral rolls. They said the changes favour Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
该委员会否认了这些指控，并表示这些调整的目的是清除名单中的重复登记者、已故选民以及不符合投票条件的选民。
The commission has denied the allegations and said the changes removed duplicate, deceased or ineligible voters. The CJP said it plans to expand demonstrations nationwide in the coming days.
该委员会的召集人索拉夫·达斯（Saurav Das）在周五的讲话中表示，他们计划在未来几天内在全国范围内进一步扩大抗议活动。据《印度时报》报道，索拉夫·达斯称：“只有当吉亚内什·库马尔（Gyanesh Kumar）辞职时，我们才会停止这些抗议活动。他必须下台。”他还表示：“我们将确保他失去现任职位，让他为自己对年轻一代和国家的所作所为付出代价。”
“We will ultimately end it only when Gyanesh Kumar resigns. He has to go,” Saurav Das, CJP’s convener, said in remarks on Friday that were reported by The Times of India. “We will ensure that he is removed from that position, all his crimes are undone and he pays for the crimes he has committed against the young generation and against the country.”Opposition protests led by the Indian National Congress party are also set to demand Kumar’s resignation starting on Tuesday.
由印度国民大会党（Indian National Congress）领导的反对派抗议活动也将于周二开始要求库马尔辞职。
India’s “cockroach movement” began with online satire mocking the government before amassing millions of followers on social media.
印度的这场抗议运动最初源于网络上的讽刺性言论，后来在社交媒体上吸引了数百万支持者；这些抗议活动最终促使数千人走上街头。7月份发生的大规模抗议活动甚至导致印度教育部长辞职。这些抗议活动引发了警方的大规模镇压行动，国际特赦组织（Amnesty International）报道称当局使用了致命武器来驱散人群。
It has since brought thousands onto the streets, including during mass demonstrations in July that led to the resignation of India’s education minister. Those protests also drew an outsized police response with Amnesty International reporting that authorities used lethal weapons to suppress crowds.
