Apparently responding to deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s recent remarks, Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam has said Allah has kept her alive for a reason - to face the trial of the century.

"Yes, Allah has kept her alive for a reason: to face the trial of the century," he said, adding that Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sideline of the BIMSTEC Summit that Hasina should be extradited to Bangladesh.

This is the top most priority of the interim government, Alam said in a post shared from his verified Facebook account early Wednesday (after zero hours).

In her latest remarks Hasina said, "Allah kept me alive for a reason", and the "day will come" when those targeting Awami League members will be brought to justice.

The Awami League president, who escaped to India on August 5 last year amid nationwide movement, made the remarks when she was interacting with family members of her party leaders during a social media interaction.

The Press Secretary said she will face trials over the murders of 1400 people -- some 13 percent of them are children.

"She will face trials for ordering the massacres and hiding the bodies of the protesters. What we heard from sources that her party activists actually made the stunning revelation to the UN Fact-finding mission," he said.

Alam said Hasina should face trials for "3,500 Gooms (enforced disappearances), some 3,000 extrajudicial murders and fake cases against some six million opposition leaders and activists and for the massacres at Shapla and after the verdict of the war crimes case against Maolana Sayedee."

And obviously, Alam added, she should face trials for the plunder of the century: 234 billion dollars were stolen and siphoned off in her nearly 16 years long rule.

"Our dignity and our self respect largely rest on our endeavour to bring her back to Bangladesh and make her face trials," said the press secretary.

He said generation after generation Latin Americans have fought these battles of dignity.

"If they were able to hold trials of some of the most brutal Generals and Dictators, we too will. One generation may fail. But it can at least pass the torch on to another generation. Our fight will be relentless. We will be defined by this fight for dignity," he said.

"Yes, Allah, the Al Hakam and the Al Adl, the ultimate deliverer of justice, has kept her alive to make her face justice," said the press secretary, adding that the "butcher of Bengal" must be tried for crimes against humanity.
