New Delhi, March 17 (IANS) Leaders and MPs of 10 political parties, including Congress president Sonia Gandhi, on Tuesday marched from parliament to the Rashtrapati Bhavan to protest against the controversial land acquisition bill.

The protest march also drew Janata Dal-United leader Sharad Yadav, CPI-M's Sitaram Yachuri and Trinamool Congress leader Dinesh Trivedi among others.
