Imphal, February 28 2023:
Reacting against the failure of providing any clarification on the publication of the thesis "Socio Economic Roots of Insurgency" which was written under his guid ance as co-guide, volunteers of Meetei Lipun thronged the residence of Prof Amar Yumnam located at Malom Bazar, on Tuesday.
The thesis maintained that the total area of Manipur was only 700 square miles at the time of merger with India.
A large number of Meetei Lipun volunteers arrived at the residence of professor Amar and tried to talk to him regarding the matter.
However, the protestors could not meet him as he was out of station.
They informed the family members to provide a clarification on the contents of the thesis.
Meitei Leepun volunteer Hanjabam Shilan Heishnam informed media persons that since no clarification has been issued by Amar Yumnam over the factual errors in the thesis, various books have been released taking references from the thesis following which some communities in the state have even.start ed demanding their homeland in Manipur.
"Therefore, Amar Yumnam should clarify the thesis report as it could create communal discord in the state.
Remaining silent even after five years of the publication of the thesis by the History department of Manipur University indicates nefarious agenda," he observed and demanded immediate explanation over the wrong information contained in the thesis.
