After more than an hour-long meeting with Kalam, Yadav told reporters that the former President told them that "the deal is in national interest".
"We will inform UNPA leaders about our discussions with Kalam who is a well known and respected scientist. He is the father of nuclear technology of the country", the SP supremo said.
