The trick: Attacks the person

It attacks the person instead of what they said (known as personal attack).

"it seems that you are frustrated with your personal and professional life."

Attacking someone's personal or professional life does not disprove the administrative issues they raise.

How it plays you

It wants you to think: "Prakash Raj is raising voter list issues solely out of personal frustration and a desire to attack Narendra Modi, rather than highlighting a genuine administrative concern."

Attacking an individual's personal life or mental state does not disprove the administrative issues they raise. Prakash Raj was part of civil society groups that conducted a social audit of the draft rolls across 10 districts to highlight systemic concerns with the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).

Does this look wrong?
