The nation observed a mourning day on Monday over the Greece boat disaster, in which dozens of precious lives were lost. The ferry boat was carrying up to 750 people that went down 50 nautical miles off Pylos in southern Greece, it further said. Earlier, another man, Sajid Mahmood, wanted in connection with the ferry tragedy, was also offloaded and arrested by the FIA at the Karachi airport. On the directions of the PM Shehbaz Sharif, a committee had been formed to probe the boat tragedy. This statement endorsed an independent investigation reported by BBC that poked holes in the Greece authorities’ account of the incident.
