As the contents of the order were not clear till it was uploaded on CAT website at around 2pm, the chief minister took no time to declare it before the media that Dinkar Gupta \u2014 who is considered his trusted lieutenant \u2014 would continue to be the DGP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amarinder, it is learnt, immediately rang up advocate general Atul Nanda, urging him to study the CAT order and keep papers ready to challenge it in Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amarinder talked to the media outside the Vidhan Sabha and said the matter has to be sorted out between the CAT, UPSC and the officer. \u201cDinkar will continue to be the DGP of Punjab,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the issue also figured during the debate on CAA inside the assembly with SAD member Bikram Singh Majithia taking a jibe at the government on the issue. \u201cYou are talking about the discrimination against Muslims in the CAA. But I have learnt just now that CAT has accepted the plea of DGP Mohd Mustafa who was not given his due and had challenged the appointment in the court,\u201d said Majithia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To this, transport minister Razia Sultana, who is Mustafa\u2019s wife, stood up and reprimanded Majithia to rake up the issue inside the assembly. \u201cAppointment of DGP is an internal matter of our government and we will sort it out on out own. You don\u2019t have any right to discuss this issue at this forum,\u201d said Sultana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To this, Majithia responded by saying that he just wanted to show sympathy with Mustafa and is ready to withdraw his words \u201cif behanji (Razia) doesn\u2019t like that\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.wakilsahab.in\/news\/cat-quashing-dgps-appointment-sends-govt-into-a-huddle\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"5\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source &#8211; hindustantimes.com The Central Administrative Tribunal\u2019s (CAT\u2019s) decision to quash appointment of Dinkar Gupta as Punjab DGP on Friday came as a big setback to Captain Amarinder Singh-led state government, which immediately went into a huddle to explore the legal options to challenge the order.
