A year on from the Peshawar school attack, is Pakistan any safer?
It was back in December of 2014 that Taliban gunmen opened fire on the school, killing over 140 people, including 132 children. It caused outrage across the world and led to Pakistani authorities cracking down on militancy in the country. The army stepped up its offensive against a number of groups and the moratorium on the death penalty was lifted. That in itself has caused criticism - with human rights groups saying almost 300 people have been hanged in the last year. But do you think these measures have changed the country for the better? Does it feel safer? Have people been put off going there since last year's tragic events? Three callers share their views with Nihal.
