In angularJS, you can use angular.element which is the lite version of jQuery. You can do pretty much everything with it, so you don't need to include jQuery.

So basically, you can rewrite your code to something like this:

link: function (scope, iElement, iAttrs) {
  var svgTag = angular.element('');
  angular.element(svgTag).appendTo(iElement[0]);
  //...
}
