Thanks Bjørn for your response. I think I am getting a bit confused here.
I booted up my Linux VM and set the following in my /etc/sysctl.conf file:
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
I saved the file.
*I rebooted my VM.*
After reboot, I check the value of
"/sys/module/ipv6/parameters/disable_ipv6". *It is still 0.*
As it is still 0, the new namespaces are created with IPv6 enabled. Is
this a bug in the kernel code?

Yes, that's the default unless you change it..

Yes, And if you boot with "ipv6.disable_ipv6=1" on the command line,
then it will be.
