(中央社記者李晉緯新德里10日專電)印度選委會修訂選民名冊,引發上億筆選民名冊紀錄遭刪除的爭議,蟑螂人民黨為此發起抗議活動,包括創辦人在內的大批相關人士因此遭拘留,但今天仍有民眾勇敢走上街頭,捍衛自己應受憲法保障的投票權。

印度選舉委員會修訂選民名冊(SIR),導致選民名冊中約1.3億筆姓名紀錄遭刪除,對部分選民投票資格產生影響,被民眾認為是偏袒總理莫迪(Narendra Modi)所屬印度人民黨(BJP)的作法,印度各地近期陸續出現示威,要求選委會主席庫瑪(Gyanesh Kumar)下台。

蟑螂人民黨(CJP)與全印學生聯會(AISA)藉由網路發起活動,要民眾今天由各地自行前往新德里市中心的賈塔爾曼塔(Jantar Mantar)天文台公園廣場集合,共同向政府表達訴求。

由於這次抗議活動在網路上產生極大聲量,有關單位不敢大意,自9日中午過後,德里市中心的維安強度就不斷加強,除增加設於大街小巷的路障,還有2.5萬軍警人員也提前部署在德里各地,讓當地風聲鶴唳。

有關單位的強勢作為除在30個路段進行交通管制與臨檢外,德里有45個地鐵站出入口自9日晚間9時到10日傍晚6時關閉;賈塔爾曼塔天文台公園廣場周遭的行動網路,自9日晚間10時到10日晚間10時也會全面斷網。

此外,蟑螂人民黨創辦人迪普克(Abhijeet Dipke)等人今天抵達德里,準備前往賈塔爾曼塔天文台公園廣場參加抗議活動,但飛機才剛降落,警方就進到機艙,將他們帶走拘留。

參與抗議的印度青年卡利拉曼(Shorya Kaliraman)在接受中央社記者採訪時表示,大家今天是為了表達對印度選委會及選委會主席庫瑪的抗議而來,因為他們未能讓印度有自由、公正的選舉,尤其庫瑪濫用權力,重新蒐集、修訂選民名冊,要剔除特定政治背景、宗教信仰的人,以利特定政黨。

卡利拉曼告訴中央社記者,這次抗議除要求庫瑪下台,更重要的是,「我們希望選舉過程保持透明」,因為在印度,選舉有個大問題,就是用暴力、金錢、好處來操縱選舉結果,「希望透過這次抗議,我們能朝好的選舉制度邁進,在這個制度下,人民可以信任政府、相信選舉,知道自己的選票會被計入,對國家、政治、政府運作等面向的意見,都可以被聽見。」

一名參與抗議的年輕女性侯賽因(Saman Husain)在接受中央社記者採訪時表示,選委會每幾年就會修改相關規定,這次修訂選民名冊,讓很多人瞬間失去投票權,這是這次引發抗議的原因。

侯賽因告訴中央社記者,周遭道路被層層封鎖,少數能到現場的人卻被拘留了,「我們是來抗議的,但因為警方這樣,活動根本無法進行。」她也提到說:「到處都被封鎖、每個人都被抓走,老實說,這有點嚇人。」

手拿印度憲法,趕到現場參與抗議的民眾馬爾維(Malvi)在接受中央社記者採訪時直言:「我來這裡,是為了捍衛我們的憲法,和憲法保障的投票權,除掉那些竊取選票的人,徹底清除腐敗的政黨。」

CJP針對印度醫學院「國家資格暨入學考試」(NEET)等考試中出現試題外洩等舞弊,於5月發起大規模抗議,時任教育部部長普拉德漢(Dharmendra Pradhan)於7月請辭。這次,CJP再發起抗議。

「蟑螂人民黨」(Cockroach Janta Party,CJP)並非真正的政黨,起初僅是圍繞政治諷刺的網路運動,組織名稱源於惡搞印度總理莫迪(Narendra Modi)所屬「印度人民黨」(Bharatiya Janata Party,BJP)而來,最初只有數百名青年參與,後來規模迅速擴大,追隨者暴增至數以百萬計。

Open Questions

  • 被刪除的1.3億筆選民紀錄中,有多少屬於誤刪?
  • 政府是否會對抗議訴求做出回應?
