周六，新德里中心区实施封锁，数千名警察和准军事部队巡逻，地铁站关闭，移动互联网中断，市场歇业，以防范一场要求印度首席选举官辞职的青年抗议活动。
Central Delhi was sealed on Saturday, with thousands of police and paramilitaries on patrol, metro stations shut, mobile internet suspended and markets closed to guard against a youth protest demanding India’s chief election officer quit.
这场由“蟑螂”青年运动发起的抗议，旨在聚集数千名示威者，要求首席选举专员贾亚内什·库马尔因修订选民名单而辞职，批评者称此举有利于总理纳伦德拉·莫迪领导的印度人民党。
The protest, called by the “cockroach” youth movement, hopes to draw thousands of demonstrators who want Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to quit over a revision of voter lists that critics say favours Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party.
组织者将其宣传为“拯救民主”抗议，旨在成为上周以来规模最大的示威活动。此前，《印度快报》报道称，库马尔的副手曾对修订过程中约1.3亿选民姓名被删除一事提出质疑并表示不同意。
Touted by the organisers as a protest to “Save Democracy”, it aims to be the biggest of the demonstrations that were launched last week after the Indian Express newspaper reported that Kumar’s deputies had questioned and disagreed with him over the revision process that saw some 130 million voter names removed.
反对党长期指责政府试图操纵选民名单以谋取利益，并在报道发布后迅速重提这些指控。库马尔未予置评，但选举委员会和印度人民党均否认了这些指控。
Opposition parties have long alleged that the government is trying to fix voter lists to its advantage and were quick to resurrect the allegations following the report. Kumar has not commented but the Election Commission and the BJP have denied the allegations.
印度人民党称，莫迪的声望和印度的经济增长是其选举优势的关键原因，并指责反对党因无法赢得选举而误导国家。
The BJP says Modi’s popularity and India’s economic growth are some key reasons for its electoral dominance and that opposition parties are misleading the country as they are unable to win elections.
尽管如此，反对派团体近乎每天的抗议活动，给莫迪带来了新的政治挑战，就在几个月前，类似的示威曾迫使他的教育部长因试卷泄露丑闻辞职。
Nonetheless, the near-daily protests by opposition groups pose a new political challenge to Modi, just months after similar demonstrations forced his education minister to quit over exam paper leaks.
这也发生在一系列关键邦选举前几个月，首场选举将于2027年初开始，包括印度人民党执政的人口最多的邦北方邦。
It also comes months before a series of key state elections starting in early 2027, including in the BJP-ruled most populous state of Uttar Pradesh.
抗议者由自称“蟑螂人民党”的组织领导，该组织始于网络讽刺，他们表示将于上午10点在贾特尔·曼塔尔集会——这是当局指定的位于新德里核心地带的抗议场所。
The protesters, led by the self-named “Cockroach Janta Party”, which began as an online satire, have said they will gather at Jantar Mantar – a site designated for protests by authorities in the heart of Delhi – at 10am.
德里警方周五表示，他们未批准此次抗议，因为申请未按时提交，CJP违反了此前抗议活动中作出的承诺，且当局必须执法维持秩序。警方还表示，如果抗议者违反禁令，将面临法律的严惩。
Delhi Police said on Friday that they had not given permission for the protest as the request did not come on time, CJP had violated undertakings given during previous protests and that authorities had to enforce the law and maintain peace. Police also said protesters would face the force of the law if they violated the ban.
CJP领导人拒绝接受警方的决定，并表示将继续举行抗议，因为这是他们的基本权利。
CJP leaders rejected the police decision and said they would go ahead with the protest as it was their fundamental right.
为阻止抗议者抵达德里及贾特尔·曼塔尔所在的中央商务区，周五有多趟进城长途列车被取消，57个地铁站自周五晚起关闭。
In what is seen as a bid to thwart protesters arriving in Delhi and the central business district where Jantar Mantar is located, several long-distance trains to the city were cancelled on Friday and 57 metro stations shut from Friday night.
据ANI通讯社援引政府命令报道，抗议区周边4公里（2.5英里）范围内的移动互联网服务被勒令自周五晚至周六晚暂停。
Mobile internet services in a radius of 4km (2.5 miles) of the protest area were ordered suspended from Friday night to Saturday night, ANI news agency reported, citing a government order.
