Imran's 10-point agenda failed to grab people's attention: Experts.

PESHAWAR -- Political experts here on Tuesday said the 10-point agenda announced by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan at Minar-e-Pakistan had failed to grab people's attention.

Terming the 10-point agenda of the PTI chief as a political gimmick, Ikhtiar Wali Khan, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa spokesman and former member provincial assembly (MPA) told reporter that the 10-point agenda of Imran Khan had failed to draw peoples' attention as the PTI government under his leadership had hardly provided any significant relief to the masses.
