在印度首都新德里，数百名抗议者被拘留，因为新成立的“蟑螂人民党”（CJP）发起抗议，要求首席选举专员辞职，原因是选民被从选民名册中删除。
Hundreds of protesters were detained in India's capital New Delhi as the newly founded Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) launched a protest demanding the resignation of chief election commissioner over deletion of voters from electoral rolls.
据《印度快报》上月报道，两名选举专员曾就选民名册修订相关决定向首席选举专员吉亚内什·库马尔（Gyanesh Kumar）提出关切，此后印度反对党发起了抗议活动。选民名册修订工作始于去年，并已在多个邦展开。反对派指控该工作删除了大量选民。
India has witnessed protests launched by opposition parties after The Indian Express reported last month that two election commissioners had raised concerns with Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar about decisions related to the revision of the voter list, an exercise that began last year. The revision exercise of the voter list began last year and has been rolled out in multiple states. The opposition alleges that the exercise removed a large number of voters.

在德里，当局发布了禁令，部署了额外的安保人员，并阻止人们在詹塔尔·曼塔尔（Jantar Mantar）抗议地点聚集。该团体今年早些时候曾在同一地点举行大规模抗议，原因是试卷泄露事件导致教育部长辞职。
In Delhi, authorities imposed prohibitory orders, deployed additional security personnel, and prevented people from gathering at the Jantar Mantar protest site. The group previously held a massive protest at the same site earlier this year because of exam paper leaks that led to the resignation of the education minister.
