Qureshi also urged India to hand over information regarding the statement of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that there was the possibility of another attack like the Mumbai carnage in India.

Saeed, who was placed under house arrest in December last year after the UN proscribed the JuD in the wake of the Mumbai attacks, was released by the Lahore High Court in June, citing what it called 'lack of evidence'.

In July, Pakistan said it would not arrest Saeed till adequate proof was provided of his involvement in the Mumbai carnage.

But, at a meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at Sharm-el-Sheikh Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani told him that 'common consensus' was being evolved and that 'action will have to be taken against him (Saeed)'.

Two days before that, on July 14, Pakistan's Punjab provincial government had disassociated itself from the case against Saeed, saying the federal government had not furnished 'solid evidence' to warrant his continued house arrest.

Earlier this month, the new US envoy to India, Timothy J. Roemer, said that Pakistan should follow up the trial of suspects of the Mumbai terror attacks.

'People held in Pakistan in connection with the Mumbai attacks should be brought to justice,' he told reporters Aug 12.

Roemer's remarks came in the wake of the Pakistan Supreme Court's decision to postpone indefinitely the petitions challenging Saeed's release, which virtually left him free. The court cited the lack of evidence against Saeed while announcing its decision.
