Claiming that the deal was a step to make India a "slave" of the United States, she said the country should hold its head high to safeguard its interests.
"The Government and the Prime Minister should not make the deal a prestige issue. They should suspend the deal for the time being. Elections are near. Let the next government take a decision on it," she told a press conference here.
She noted that the deal would also "hamper" the $ 7.4 billion Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project as the US was acting against Tehran in a "dangerous" manner.
