He regretted that during the recent no trust move, bribes had been doled out which was not a good thing for democracy. Qureshi, who is also the vice-chairman of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, said they had conveyed to the ally Muttahida Qaumi Movement that Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid had decided to support the PTI. He further stated that the decisions made by the PML-Q would hopefully help the MQM-P in reaching theirs too. "Ousting governments from power on the basis of money is a detrimental practice," the minister warned. According to him, the government opted for geo-economics in relations with the regional countries.
