However, Pakistan's Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik reiterated that Pakistan still needs more information from India to allow it to prosecute suspects in court.
We have arrested a total of 124 people belonging to banned groups and are committed to working with India on the war on terror," said Rehman Malik.
India has said that the November 26 attack on its commercial center that killed over 180 people was plotted in Pakistan.
Malik dodged a question on whether Pakistan was admitting terrorists from its soil staged the attack, saying evidence was still needed.
He said the crackdown was in response to the UN accusation that a Pakistani charity was a front for an outlawed terrorist group allegedly linked to the attacks.
