Epidemic of political insanity

Bangladesh is in the grip of a serious epidemic called political insanity. It has affected most of the politicians irrespective of their party affiliation. The initial symptoms are mild and almost unrecognisable. The symptoms gradually increase in intensity from incoherent speeches to open paranoid acts. They tend to justify their acts through reasons of their own making. They exhibit a false face of emotion which emanates from paranoid delusions. A real catastrophe which affects the non-political people deeply fails to arouse even the slightest reaction in them. They seem to enjoy worst forms of violence on others as long as it does not affect them directly. Only Bangladeshi politicians seem to be susceptible to this condition due probably to some genetic disorder. There is no known cure of the disease as yet.
