Netizens were quick to troll the protesters for their apparent ignorance, mocking the fact that they couldn’t distinguish between the country of canada and Canara bank, a prominent indian bank. Memes and sarcastic comments flooded social media platforms, with many users humorously pointing out the futility of protesting outside an unrelated bank over a diplomatic issue involving a foreign country. Some even joked that protesting outside "Canara Bank" would have little effect on Canada's foreign policy or stance towards Modi.
The incident highlighted the importance of informed activism, as many netizens criticized the lack of basic knowledge among the protesters. This unintended error became a viral moment, underscoring the need for clarity and awareness, especially when addressing international political matters, while also exposing the potential for ridicule when protests are not well thought out.
