The Election Commission has denied favoring any party and said voters whose names were removed by mistake can re-register.<\/p>\n<p>More than 130 million names were removed during the revision, Reuters reported. The Election Commission said those removed included 28 million people who had died, 63 million who had moved elsewhere and 30 million who could not be traced. The Commission and the ruling party have rejected opposition claims that minorities were disproportionately affected. Police had earlier this week jailed two party leaders for five days over a protest at a prohibited site. About 500 protesters reached different locations around Connaught Place on Friday, and police detained some of them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=27672\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media Newsroom Police detained Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke, student leader Neha Bora and supporters during protests against a voter-list revision in New Delhi on Friday.
