LAHORE: The Lahore Bar Association (LBA) on Wednesday awarded its honorary lifetime membership to anchorperson Imran Riaz Khan.

The anchorperson visited the bar to address a gathering where he was given a certificate of lifetime membership. It bears the signatures of LBA President Rana Intezar Hussain, General Secretary Malik Kafeel Khokhar and Secretary Umer Waqas Warraich.

The journalist remained ‘missing’ for more than five months and reached his home in September. He has been facing cases under different charges apparently for supporting ‘political’ agenda of former prime minister Imran Khan.
