NEW DELHI: Parliament on Wednesday passed the crucial Lokpal Bill with the  Lok Sabha adopting the measure as amended by the Rajya Sabha after a short discussion, amid the din created by pro- and anti-Telangana members.

Samajwadi Party and Shiv Sena members, opposing the bill, staged a walk-out in protest, as their counterparts from other parties, including Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi and leader of the opposition Sushma Swaraj, supported the measure.

Swaraj supported the measure but attacked the Congress for clamouring to take credit for it, saying “the people of this country and Anna Hazare who has undertaken fast several times deserve the credit.”

Earlier, Speaker Meira Kumar allowed the bill, as amended by the Upper House, to be laid and taken up for consideration by Lok Sabha.
