On his India visit, Mr Miliband gave a speech at the Taj Palace hotel, one of the sites of the attacks in Mumbai. Mr Malik said the authorities had so far closed down 87 institutions - including seven madrassas (religious schools) - belonging to the banned Jamaat-ud-Dawa Islamic charity.
The organisation is widely seen as a political front for Lashkar-e-Taiba. A number of publications and websites had also been blocked.
The camps closed down include the main Lashkar-e-Taiba base in Pakistani-administered Kashmir, which was shut in December.
