For­mer Pak­istani leader has been con­vict­ed of cor­rup­tion and barred from elec­tions for five years. Published on 6 August 2023. He was once Pakistan’s most powerful politician. But Imran Khan, the country’s former prime minister, is now in prison. His supporters say political persecution fuelled his arrest. However, reactions are mixed, particularly in light of his contentious legal battles. The arrest comes just months before elections in November, which some observers say could lead to social unrest. So will this end Khan’s political career? And will it further deepen divisions among Pakistan’s political parties? Presenter: Cyril Vanier Guests: Shandana Gulzar Khan – Joint secretary of the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party Nawab Muhammad Taimur Talpur – Ruling Pakistan Peoples Party minister in Sindh province Azeema Cheema – Founding director of the firm Verso Consulting
