The Jan Lokpal Bill, also referred to as the Citizen's Ombudsman Bill, is an anti-corruption bill drafted and drawn up by civil society activists in India seeking the appointment of a Jan Lokpal, an independent body to investigate corruption cases. The Jan Lokpal Bill aims to effectively deter corruption, compensate citizen grievances, and protect whistle-blowers. The prefix Jan (translation: citizens) signifies that these improvements include inputs provided by "ordinary citizens" through an activist-driven, non-governmental public consultation.

There is no independent organisation in a democracy
Yes, but the bill must be strengthened to give the Lokpal similar powers and independence as the Judiciary
@8QX9BGD3yrs3Y
We should have peons on the inside of these ministers to curb corruption
@8QKCBP2Independent3yrs3Y
But I don't think that will be useful
@8PXCLK53yrs3Y
Yes but they should be prevented from becoming corrupt
Corruption is a very complex issue. What if that organization goes corrupt?
@8PXDFDV3yrs3Y
Yes it should be prevented from becoming corrupt itself
@T4NFRK3yrs3Y
The independent organisation should be truly and fully autonomous and the chief of the organisation be beyond reproach and man of charector

The problem in India is not Laws, it is lack of Implementation, and Improvement of Laws. You can have the Greatest piece of Legislation in the world, but if it is not implemented properly it could turn out the be the worst piece of legislation.
Consolidation and Updating of current laws is the need of the Hour.
What will be the result if the Lokpal Body gets corrupt?
