Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been arrested in a case involving the misappropriation of official gifts meant for the ‘Toshakhana’. The latest conviction, which carries a sentence of three years, means he is now disqualified from Parliament for the next five years, and will not be able to stand for election due by November. However, experts argue that his arrest may not impact his popularity in the country. Renowned Pakistani journalist Zulqernain Tahir explains why the former Prime Minister’s popularity is unlikely to dip due to the arrest.
