July 12, 2008 16:13 IST

Communist Party of India-Marxist general secretary Prakash Karat on Saturday said his party has not taken any decision yet to ask Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee to quit office.

"No, that is not correct. There is no such decision as yet," Karat told PTI over phone when asked whether the party has asked Chatterjee to step down and that he would quit on Monday.

On Wednesday, Karat had said that Chatterjee would decide on his own whether to resign from his post.
