Episode Notes:

The last week saw the arrest of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, as well as the release of a confidential diplomatic cable detailing the U.S. government's displeasure with him shortly before he was removed from office. This is all coming at a moment when the current parliamentary session is coming to an end.

Joining us to discuss all this Asfandyar Mir, senior expert in the South Asia program at the United States Institute of Peace.
