Terming the abrogation of Article 370 ‘the need of the hour for the unity and integrity of the nation,’ Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Wednesday said that the move is not "communal" but is a matter of the country's security.

"The scrapping of Article 370 was the need of the hour for the unity and integrity of the country. Article 370 was only a temporary provision. We will not allow anyone to interfere in the internal affairs of India," a tweet on the Vice President's official Twitter account read.
