"Threatening to drag the Congress to court, Irani said: “My daughter’s fault is that her mother holds a press conference on the loot of Rs 5,000 crore by Sonia and Rahul Gandhi. Her fault is that her mother fought against Rahul Gandhi in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha polls. The Congress ‘assassinated’ and ‘publicly mutilated’ my daughter’s character. Let the Congress show proof of any wrongdoing.” 

Kirat Nagra, lawyer for Irani’s daughter, said his client neither owned nor operated the restaurant called Silly Souls and had not received any showcause notice from any authority whatsoever. 

But a local lawyer, Aires Rodrigues, who had lodged a complaint with the excise commissioner and filed the RTI application, asserted that everybody in Goa knew that Silly Souls was run by the Irani family."
