New Delhi, Feb 24 (IANS) The government Tuesday introduced the land acquisition amendment bill in the Lok Sabha amid uproar by the opposition.

The opposition parties, led by the Congress, vociferously opposed the bill on the floor of the house. The Congress staged a walkout.

Introducing the bill, Rural Development Minister Birender Singh said: "I have received the objections of the members but this can be discussed when the bill is taken into consideration."

Civil society activists, led by Anna Hazare, are protesting on the issue at Jantar Mantar, a short distance away from parliament.
