In a Facebook post on Tuesday, 4 January, Hameed criticized RSS and other Hindutva groups for inciting riots in the state and Kerala Police's alleged inaction against those saffron groups. He also shared a news story on social media which was about the state government intelligence informing that the RSS is making headway for statewide riots.
