Rodrigues urged Indians to abstain from the 2022 FIFA World Cup by using the microblogging service Twitter. He claimed that Naik is a "terror sympathizer" and an "Indian fugitive sought on charges of money-laundering and hate speeches," and he added that Naik is crucial in the spread of Islamic radicalism and hatred that results in terrorism.
