BJP President Amit Shah drew strong criticism on Monday from Bangladesh after he&nbsp;compared Bangladeshi migrants living in India with <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/bangladeshi-migrants-termites-will-be-sent-out-country-amit-shah-167170">"termites"</a> who are eating into the country's resources.

Reacting to the remarks, Bangladesh Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu was quoted in media reports as saying that "Amit Shah made an unwanted remark"&nbsp;and Dhaka does not&nbsp;give any importance to his statement as it does not carry the gravity of an official statement of India.

"We have maintained that the NRC process in Assam and the welfare of the Bengali-speaking citizens of India are internal issues of India," Hasanul Haq added.

The senior Bangladesh&nbsp;minister and a veteran of 1971 War of Liberation also said that Amit Shah is perhaps uninformed about the dialogue that India and Bangladesh have held at the official level on the NRC in Assam with home minister Rajnath Singh and Indian High Commissioner Harsh Vardhan Shringla based in Dhaka in which India assured that not a single Bengali-speaking person will be sent to Bangladesh.

Hasanul Haq Inu's&nbsp;response came after Amit Shah in a public meeting in Rajasthan on Saturday said that&nbsp;Bangladeshi migrants are like termites and each one of them will be sent out of the country.

At another meeting in Kota, he said the Congress treated infiltrators as a vote bank while the BJP is committed to identifying each one of them and sending them out of the country.

He also repeated the remark in Delhi, a day after and promised that if BJP is re-elected in 2019 it will pick out each and every infiltrator and send them back.

Amit Shah's 'termites' remark 'unwanted', says Bangladesh

BJP president Amit Shah said Saturday Bangladeshi migrants are like termites and each one of them will be struck off the electoral roll.

Referring to the draft National Register of Citizens recently published in Assam, he said, The BJP government brought NRC and prima facie identified nearly 40 lakh illegal immigrants.

The BJP government will pick out each and every infiltrator, he said. ''BJP sarkaar ek-ek ghuspaithiye ko chun-chun kar matdata suchi se hatane ka kaam karegi.''

Shah was speaking at a public meeting in Sawai Madhopur district's Gangapur before heading for another event in Kota.

The Bharatiya Janata Party chief was in Rajasthan earlier this month as well as his party and the Congress gear up for the Assembly elections by the year-end.

The BJP government in Rajasthan is like the unshakeable 'Angad ka Paon', he said referring to a character in Ramayana whose foot even Ravana could not move.

The Congress cannot do any good for the country as that party has neither a leader nor a policy, he said.

Calling Rahul Gandhi Rahul Baba, Shah said while he is demanding an account of the work done by the BJP, the people want him to tell them what the four generations of his own family have done.

He said Rajasthan was a `Bimaru' state during the Congress rule but Chief Minister Vasundhra Raje had worked to bring in progress.

He said both the central and the state governments had initiated development projects.
