If you're visiting your mother - you are your mother's guest as well, it's her duty as a host to defend you from Jane's attacks. If you live there - it's your home as well, you are the host she's insulting. Demand her to stop talking or leave. Your mother can visit her at Jane's house. Jane has forfeited her rights to Indian hospitality, keep that in mind.

She will still be welcomed in your house as a friend of your mother, but that friends do other stuff besides complaining about political issues." Thanks @Salvador Ruiz Guevara, and +1 for identifying the crux of the problem. Indian hospitality has a rather polite and indirect approach to such problems. I could've been frank if she were my own friend but but I shall be direct in telling Jane D this if diplomacy gets ignored!
