Resurrecting the issue of cartoons lampooning her, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today claimed it actually contained a message threatening to assassinate her. 

She also alleged a conspiracy through Facebook, Twitter and SMS and said, "I am being shown in Facebook. Now, it is my turn. I will show you Facebook". 

"Mamata Banerjee is not a cartoon. A section of the media called it a cartoon. But they are wrong. It contained the word 'Vanish', which means a plan to assassinate and killMamata Banerjee," the chief minister told a party meeting in reference to the cartoon. 

The cartoon was sent by Professor Ambikesh Mahapatra, who was arrested and later released, leading to a hue and cry.
