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.
But reactions are mixed, particularly in light of his contentious legal battles.
The arrest comes just months before elections in November, which some fear, could lead to social unrest.
So, will this end Imran 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.
Taimur Talpur, the governing Pakistan Peoples Party Minister for Forest and Wildlife of Sindh Province.
