Durrani stated that doing something against the law was illegal while unethical acts were similar to selling you soul, the latter being a more grave offence.
Illegal is law breaking, unethical is soul selling. The later is a worse crime

Durrani went a step further and advised the Sharif family that the only way PM’s family could distant themselves from the allegations was to bring back the money saved in offshore accounts and foreign countries to Pakistan. She added that the family should opt for a simpler way of life by returning the wealth to the nation and keep Quaid-e-Azam as an example.

Durrani further stated that if she was rich, her riches would have been god’s wealth which she would have reserved for the poor and the destitute of the nation.
If I was rich , my money wld be Gods money , and belong to the poor suffering people of my motherland
