Newly invented Yom Tov

Newly Invented non-existent Yom Tov The Sefer טעמי המנהגים (p 262) writes  “The Yahrzeit of  ר' מאיר, is not mentioned anywhere. People recently made up a new YomTov claiming the Yahrzeit of ר' מאיר to be on פסח שני.   It is  known that their whole  intention  was created for financial gain, by inventing another הילולה .”  והמבין יבין   He also quotes a letter from the איש האמת ר' מאטיל סלאנימר זצ"ל who harshly criticizes them for being עובר בל תוסיף by inventing this new Yom Tov. The שדי חמד אסיפת דינים מערכת א"י wrote a letter to the Sephardic חכמים in T’verya, asking for the source of this new celebration, the "הילולה of ר' מאיר". “On earlier celebrations (ל"ג בעומר) the רבני אשכנז (Chasam Sofer- Shoel Umeishiv etc.)  have complaints & are pained, and now we come up with a new הילולה”.    The שדי חמד didn't receive a satisfactory answer from the  Sephardi חכמים.
