The controversy over a JNU event and its fallout has officially snowballed into the year's biggest political debate with politicians, historians, journalists, students, writers, universities, 'nationalists' and 'anti-nationals' jumping into it. In the midst of all this, a battle of words has begun between news channel Times Now and the news portal The Wire. 

All over the allegedly doctored video of JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar.

Here's a brief timeline of the events in this exchange of barbs between the two editors: 

In an earlier version of this article, Times Now was listed as one of the channels that broadcast the doctored tape of Kanhaiya Kumar. The channel’s head, Arnab Goswami has clarified that a BJP spokesman, Sambit Patra, sought to play the clip on his iPad during a debate but was not allowed to as the clip was not verified, and the clip was never played on the channel.
