The title of your thread is "arrogant officials." This guy doesn't sound arrogant to me, just a bit out of line. If he wanted to give you some pointers, a quiet word at your next meeting would have been appropriate. Also - you should at least consider the possibility that the guy really was just trying to help who he perceived to be a young official. He just didn't do it in the correct manner.
Having said that, I would have punched the SOB right in the face and told him to mind his own damn business. Then I would have made fun of his pants.
