India's 'cockroach' movement founder arrested after detention, media reports say Oct 17 - Police arrested Indian "cockroach" movement founder Abhijeet Dipke, according to several media reports on Saturday, after he was detained on Friday ahead of a Delhi rally that drew hundreds of people waving the national flag and demanding the resignation of India's election chief.
广播公司NDTV和《今日印度》报道称,迪普克被捕是为了防止破坏治安,他将于周六被传唤至特别行政治安法官面前。德里警方未立即回复发送的置评请求。
Dipke was arrested to prevent a breach of the peace and will be called before a Special Executive Magistrate on Saturday, broadcasters NDTV and India Today said. Delhi police did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
由年轻人领导的“蟑螂人民党”(CJP)、反对派团体和学生组织本月几乎每天举行抗议活动,要求选举委员会主席贾尼什·库马尔辞职。他们指责,选民名单修订有利于总理纳伦德拉·莫迪领导的印度人民党(BJP)。
The youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), opposition groups and student organisations have held near-daily protests this month demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over a revision of voter lists that they say favours Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). More than 130 million voters were deleted during the revision.
此次修订期间,超过1.3亿选民被删除。选举委员会否认偏袒任何政党,并表示被错误删除的选民可以重新登记。印度人民党指责反对派通过质疑合法的选举程序来破坏民主。
The Election Commission has denied favouring any party and said wrongly deleted voters can re-enrol. The BJP has accused rivals of trying to undermine democracy by wrongly questioning legitimate electoral processes. Student activist Neha Bora, a prominent face of the protests, who was also detained on Friday as she tried to reach central Delhi with dozens of supporters, was released on Saturday.
学生活动家尼哈·博拉是抗议活动的知名面孔,她周五也在试图带着几十名支持者前往德里市中心时被拘留,并于周六获释。
"Please, spare the people of India.
博拉在获释后告诉ANI新闻社:“请,放过印度人民。弹劾贾尼什·库马尔,停止SIR(特别强化修订),让这个国家的普通民众能够松一口气,感到安心,并确保他们的投票权。”
Impeach Gyanesh Kumar and halt SIR (special intensive revision), so that the ordinary citizens of this country can breathe a sigh of relief, feel at ease, and have their voting rights ensured," Bora told ANI news agency after she was released.
迪普克周五走出德里市中心一栋房屋时被拘留,警察在简短争执后将他塞进警车带走。
Dipke was detained on Friday as he stepped out of a house in central Delhi, with police hauling him into a police car and driving away after a brief argument.
迪普克号召周五的抗议活动,旨在支持本周两名CJP领导人,他们因在抗议现场违反禁令而被拘留并被判处五天监禁。周五早些时候,警方曾会见迪普克并警告他不要继续进行抗议。
Dipke had called Friday's protest in support of two CJP leaders detained and sent to jail this week for five days for demonstrating at a protest site in violation of a ban. Earlier on Friday, police had met Dipke and warned him against going ahead with the protest.
蟑螂运动已成为莫迪及其印度人民党在其担任总理12年期间面临的最大政治挑战之一。
The cockroach movement has emerged as one of the biggest political challenges faced by Modi and the BJP in the prime minister's 12 years in power.
今年早些时候,该运动支持者进行的数周静坐抗议,因试卷泄露事件迫使教育部长达门德拉·普拉丹辞职。
A weeks-long sit-in by supporters of the movement earlier this year forced Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over exam paper leaks.
