The second fallacy we are going to look at is known as "the straw man", yet again often attempted. It consists of consciously misrepresenting, at times through obvious exaggeration, the opponent's words and or actions, so as to make it easier to attack an opponent's argument.
Would you agree with me if I were to insist that the Cockroach Janata Party is rather good at it? Look at how it tried to thus misrepresent the 'auntie' types.
Sure the matter is sub judice currently. No harm though in mentioning how the police "attacks" at the Jantar Mantar were exaggerated, ignoring all along the very many videos at Jantar Mantar of/at/on attack on the severely bleeding policemen, not to forget the treatment of the student protest at Ranchi!
