Angular JS and Bootstrap Accordion not working

I am trying to use Angular JS and Bootstrap Together, I need to be able to support IE8 and above, therefore I originally implemented UI-bootstrap, but they do not support IE8.

When my view (partial) uses the accordion, when I click on the accordion it goes back to the first.html. So the accordion does not work? I know it has something to do with angular taking the #accordion and treating it as a link, so It goes back to the first.html file.

So is there a good work around this? Script:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.5/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/angular-ui-router/release/angular-ui-router.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

HTML:

<div ui-view></div>

routing:

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ui.router','mainControl', 'ngSanitize']);
myApp.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
  $urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/splash');
  //
  // Now set up the states
  $stateProvider
    .state('splash', {
      url: '/splash',
      templateUrl: 'partials/splash2.html',
      controller: 'MainControl'
    })
    .state('advice', {
      url: '/advice',
      templateUrl: 'partials/advice.html',
      controller: 'MainControl'
    })
    .state('main', {
      url: '/main',
      templateUrl: 'partials/main.html',
      controller: 'MainControl'
    })
});

Partial with accordion:

<div class="panel-group" id="accordion" role="tablist" aria-multiselectable="true">
  <div class="panel panel-default">
    <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="headingOne">

        </a>
      </h4>
    </div>
    <div id="collapseOne" class="panel-collapse collapse in" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="headingOne">
      <div class="panel-body">
