(This insult would be the equivalent of calling the Canadian Mounties as Mafia in Red Tunics). 

A First Secretary of an Embassy represents his / her nation in a foreign country. Are the comments of the First Secretary of the Canadian embassy the official position of Canada towards a legal Police Force of the Indian Government? This has not been clarified till date.
