Imphal, February 05 2014:
ACOAM-Lup, Kangleipak has said that books of RK Jhalajit and Huirem Bihari will be set on fire if the two writers fail to present concrete evidence of their claims on burning of Puya (ancient Meitei scriptures) within February 20 .
The two writers have allegedly claimed that Puyas were not burnt.
In a press release, the organisation said that ACOAM-Lup has been observing the day of burning of Puyas as 'Puwarigi Amamba Numit' every year.
The day was fixed after having thorough consultations with different scholars in a seminar, it added.
Burning of Puya is mentioned in many ancient books including Cheitharol Kumbaba (Royal Chronicle), the press release added.
