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."

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