    Muttahida Qaumi Movement - Pakistan (MQM-P), an ally of Pakistan's ruling party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) which leads the government, has decided to support the opposition in its no-confidence motion against Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan which is expected on April 3, news agency ANI reported quoting Geo TV.
