Senator Haroon Akhtar denied the report of seeking any loan relief saying no loan was written off against him but adjustment was made under the directives of Lahore High Court in line with State Bank policy after he had paid Rs 180 million. Advertising any loan which was written off after the payment was made double than the original sum of debt was wrong, he added.
