The Jan Lokpal Bill is a proposed legislation in India aimed at establishing an independent ombudsman, known as the Lokpal, to address corruption in public offices. The bill seeks to empower the Lokpal to investigate and prosecute government officials, including the Prime Minister, and ensure accountability in public service. The movement for the Jan Lokpal Bill gained significant momentum in 2011, led by social activist Anna Hazare. It aimed to create a more transparent and accountable government by providing citizens with a mechanism to report and seek redress for corruption.
