Political fanaticism turns brother-in-law into enemy, fractures family

Political fanaticism has shattered the family of Nazif and Firah, turning a brother-in-law into an enemy. The conflict ignited when the upcoming state elections, announced by the Election Commission, became a catalyst for their deep-seated ideological divide.

Nazif's brother-in-law, referred to as "Along," taunted Nazif about his party leader's imprisonment and corruption. "I'm not just saying this, your leader has been thrown in jail, and you were one of his close associates who used to flatter him," Along sneered, his laughter echoing. "It would be good if you became a candidate, just don't follow his corrupt ways."

Nazif's fury erupted, his face contorting from a "full moon" to a "dragon-faced sun." He declared his brother-in-law unwelcome, stating, "As long as Along keeps speaking ill of my party leader, I will consider him an enemy. He is no longer my brother-in-law. Understand?" Firah, witnessing the venomous exchange, collapsed in tears, her heart aching. She couldn't comprehend how politics had become a "cancer" in her family, poisoning her husband's mind with blind devotion to his party.

The dispute, which resurfaces every four to five years during election periods, highlights the stark ideological differences between the brothers-in-law. Their unwavering loyalty to opposing parties mirrors a "civil war" between North and South Korea, fueled by immense personal egos.
