新德里——印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪政府动用数千名安全部队封锁印度首都，以阻止一场针对选民名单清理行动的大规模抗议。批评者称该行动正在剥夺数百万印度人的投票权。
NEW DELHI—The government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi locked down India’s capital with thousands of security forces in a bid to thwart a mass protest over an effort to clean up voter lists that critics say is stripping millions of Indians of the right to vote.
去年，印度选举委员会开始清理选民名单，活动人士称此举已导致约1.3亿人被从初步或最终选民名单中删除。
Last year, India’s election commission began a cleanup of voter lists that, according to activists, have resulted in some 130 million people being cut from preliminary or final voter rolls.
