"The Trinamool Congres has taken a peculiar position, they say they were not told. There was a CCPA meeting three days back which the Trinamool Congress representative did not attend and then they say they were not told," Karat said at a function to mark the birth centenary of CPI(M)'s first general secretary P Sundaraiyah.

"The issue was on the agenda for discussion. Now the Trinamool Congress claims it did not know," he said.

"This is a sort of matchfixing, that you (Congress) do and we (Trinamool Congress) will say we did not know," the CPI(M) general secretary said.

He said that his party would sit with other parties tomorrow to give a call for nationwide protest day against the government's decision.

"We will try to build the widest consensus for protesting the diesel price hike, restricting number of LPG cylinders and entry of FDI in multi-brand retail," Karat said.
