They also created a giant hoarding before the BJP's office here mocking Jaiswal.

Addressing a Kavi Sammelan here on Sunday night after the news of India's victory over Pakistan in the ICC World Twenty-20 match in Sri Lanka came in, Jaiswal had said, "Like an old victory, wives lose charm as time goes by."

He later claimed his comments were misconstrued and were being taken out of context and that he would apologised if they have hurt the sentiments of women.

A social activist yesterday moved a local court against Jaiswal seeking registration of a criminal case for his sexist remarks.
