Jaipur Dialogues commented on the FIR in the case and called the Congress party a ‘fascist’. “This is the Mohabbat ki Dukaan that Rahul Gandhi and Congress talks about. While they yell about Freedom of Speech and how they are against Fascism, their actions portray that they are much worse. A member of our team has been booked by Bengaluru Police for writing an article against Rahul Gandhi. If this is not Fascism, we don’t know what is,” the portal posted on X (formerly Twitter).

It also mentioned that the power of media was being silenced. “We find it deeply troubling that the Bengaluru police weaponize the law to target critical discourse. They label accusations of promoting enmity and circulating false information as thinly veiled attempts to intimidate and suppress dissent. This isn’t about maintaining harmony; it’s about protecting the powerful from accountability and shielding them from public scrutiny,” the Jaipur Dialogues said in a report.
“Freedom of speech belongs to every citizen, not just to those who toe the line set by the powerful. The selective enforcement of the law clearly shows that this isn’t about justice but about censorship. It targets only those who criticize certain political figures. This calculated move creates an atmosphere of fear where questioning the actions of those in power meets legal retribution,” it said.
“We call on all those who value free speech to condemn this attack. This is not just about Jaipur Dialogues or Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury. It is about the future of free speech in India. We urge the Bengaluru police to reconsider their actions and to uphold the democratic values that are the foundation of our nation. The real threat to society is not the free exchange of ideas, but the suppression of those ideas through fear and intimidation,” it added.
Bangladeshi journalist Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury has been making several posts on X against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. In one of his posts on September 1st, he said that the Gandhi family had been illegally occupying the house at 10 Janpath, Delhi.
“Catholic Christian and ISI asset Antonia Albina Maino has been occupying this property for decades through a false lease deed. Still, 1.40 billion #Indians don’t have the right to utter a word. This is a burning example of #kleptocracy,” he posted.
In an exclusive article, the Bangladeshi journalist also stated that the Congress party deliberately never called Sonia Gandhi by her original name. He also called Antonia Albina Maino a ‘mafia queen’ and a ‘Pakistani ISI asset’ who has been carrying out her ‘activities’ in India.
The Bangladeshi journalist further added that Gandhi was illegally staying at the 10 Janpath residence in Delhi, given she was using her fake name and not her original identity viz Antonia Maino.
“Antonia Albina Maino obtained Indian citizenship using her original name. This means that this is her legal name. But for decades, she has been using a fake name, and there is no document proving she legally changed her name through an affidavit. As per legal provisions, only Hedvige Antonia Albina Maino or Antonia Albina Maino has the right to reside in the government bungalow located at 10 Janpath. Anyone using a fake name does not have the legal right to stay on that property. Similarly, Antonia Albina Maino’s son, Raul Vinci, who also uses a fake name, has no right to use that property,” the Bangladeshi journalist said.
He also said that Sonia Gandhi should be evicted from the 10 Janpath home and should be declared ineligible to lead any political party or continue to practice politics in India. At the same time, he said Indian authorities should seek full compensation and financial penalties from Sonia Gandhi for concealing her true identity and utilising the 10 Janpath property under a false name. “Any public official or high-profile politician who engages in such falsehoods should be permanently barred from politics,” he said.
