Your link gives India's poverty estimate for 2012 but not updated for Pakistan. All estimates shows poverty has risen in Pakistan and your government is trying to hide it keeping world bank site not updated. World Bank don't publish useless things, so I am surprised you are trying to deny it.
Jump in Pakistan’s poverty level - DAWN.COM
Are you stupid or are you just biased that you'd quote an 'article - an Opinion Piece' to substantiate your claim instead of quoting facts ?
Pakistan's Poverty Reduction Rate was hovering at 1.3% p.a & unless you've managed to reinvent Mathematics a Reduction at 1.3% annually doesn't increase but decreases the 21% National Poverty Percentage in 2006 to something a lot less in 2014 !
That coupled with an increasing GDP Per Capita, an increasing Human Development Index & a less Income Inequality Index would be enough for even someone who hasn't been blessed with too much intellect to know that even if somehow Mathematics were to nullify its basic premise the other Indicators also contradict the assertion !
Additionally the UNDP's Multi-Dimesional Poverty Index which has nothing to do with Government Censuses shows a lesser Multidimensional Poverty for Pakistan than for India !
