Ministry of External Affairs denied to comment on the propaganda video posted by Chinese news agency Xinhua, mocking Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Briefing media over ongoing Doklam standoff, the ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said that India does not want to dignify 'this' video with a comment. 

Kumar assured media that India and China were still in talks to resolve the dispute on Bhutan-China border near Sikkim, even if information was not being passed on to media.

"There has been a dialogue on Doklam dispute, however, we cannot share all the information with media," MEA official said.

The video with a title "seven sins of India" features a Chinese actor wearing a turban and fake beard in an apparent representation of a Sikh man.

The video called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a "thick skinned" and said India is behaving like "a robber who had just broken into your house and refused to leave.

Following the Doklam standoff, a series of rhetoric full of apprehension and peril started from the Chinese side. The racist video is also a part of Chinese media's propaganda.
