It tars someone with the views or acts of people linked to them (known as guilt by association).
"It was the same Modi Shah modus operandi as in Nee protests and Gujarat riots of 2002."

What each side says
How it tries to persuade you
It wants you to think: "The current political leadership and its supporters are systematically using the exact same violent methods as the 2002 Gujarat riots to suppress dissent today."
Connecting current political events to unrelated past atrocities does not constitute evidence for present allegations. The actions of individuals in past riots do not prove a coordinated, state-backed conspiracy in today's protests.
- Us vs Them: "This is Gandhi's land. We shall not let it become Godse's land.". It divides the nation into a moral binary, forcing the viewer to choose between historical symbols of peace and violence, implying that supporting the current government is a betrayal of the nation.
Does this look wrong?
