Summary

ISLAMABAD: Popular anchor Mubashir Lucman has announced quitting his television career just days after a court barred him from hosting any program.

Even as a guest, he continued his scathing criticism of Jang Group owner Mir Shakil-ur-Rehman, calling him a 'traitor' and 'defaulter'. He said he was ready to prove this in a court of law.
