Explanation

Anna Hazare's fast in 2011 was for a stronger anti-corruption bill called the Lokpal Bill, which aimed to create an independent body to investigate corruption complaints against public officials.

AI explanation

The Lokpal Bill, which Anna Hazare's 2011 fast at Jantar Mantar sought to pressure the Indian government into passing, is legislation to establish an independent ombudsman ('Lokpal') empowered to investigate corruption charges against public officials, including politicians and bureaucrats. It is fundamentally an anti-corruption measure, part of India's broader push (culminating in the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013) to create institutional accountability mechanisms. The other options are unrelated to the bill's actual content: it is not aimed at welfare for the elderly, defence strengthening, or counter-terrorism — those are separate policy domains. The anti-corruption framing is the accurate, well-documented purpose of the Lokpal movement and bill.
