Anna Hazare today said he has no objection to making Lokpal a Constitutional authority provided there is no government interference in its functioning, contrary to his team's stand that the move is a delaying tactic. 

"I am not opposed to the Lokpal being made a Constitutional authority on the lines of the Election Commission which is an autonomous body. But there should not be governmental interference in its functioning," Hazare said.

A Lokpal, with the status of a Constitutional authority, had been proposed by Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi in an intervention during a debate on the subject in the Lok Sabha.owever, key team Anna member Kiran Bedi had questioned the government's move, terming it as a tactic to delay or avoid its passage and "fool" the people.
