lathi-charge

Term used to describe a mode of attack favoured by Indian cops when attacking protesters. Basically the same as a baton-charge, but using long sticks known as lathis. In a lathi-charge, pigs run at a crowd and start randomly beating the nearest people with five-foot-long bamboo rods.

The roadblock lasted for three hours before police used tear gas and lathi-charge to break it up. Protesters later regrouped outside the police headquarters to continue their agitation.

lathi card

Forcing other(s) to be consistent with what the other's said, either/both to attack the opponent(s) and/or evading allegation(s)

Also known as: tu quoque fallacy

Originated from traditional Javanese proverb: ajining dhiri ana ing lathi /ɑ•dʒee•neeng deer•ee o•no ing la•ti/ (your words determine your self esteem)

If you playing the Lathi card, you're losing the argument and no one can save you, not even yourself

Remember: two wrongs ain't make no right/two wrongs don't make a right
