Study / Is it possible to get a Schengen tourist visa while having a D visa ? [5]

hi everyone, :)

i have a D visa and i am working in poland.
(the work permit and the visa is valid for around an year)
i am indian by nationality.
the Czech Republic embassy told me on phone i can not apply for a Schengen visa! with my current condition.
i have not been to counsulates of other country yet. just wanted to know if anyone has gone through any similar situation.
