The Centre for Research and Information (CRI) will organise the launching ceremony of graphic novel ‘Mujib-3’ on the Bangla Academy premises at 4:30pm tomorrow, according to a CRI press release.

State Minister for Power and Energy Nasrul Hamid will be present at the book launching event among others, the release read.

‘Mujib-3’ will highlight the post-World War II period during which Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman emerged as a politician and organiser despite many obstacles, according to the press release.

The entire "The Unfinished Memoirs" by Bangabandhu, during his incarceration, would be presented in 12 parts of the graphic novel series in an initiative mainly aimed at raising keenness among children and teenagers to learn about the Father of the Nation Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the nation’s history.

The first part of the graphic novel series was launched on the 96th birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation and the National Children's Day on March 17, 2015, while the second part was unveiled at the book fair on February 13, 2016.
