According to him, Dhankhar often reminded the House that they were ultimately working for the country. While ideological differences sometimes led to his advice not being followed, Sibal said the reasons were understandable. He described Dhankhar as a warm and kind-hearted person, clear-minded, and a true friend to many. Sibal said he regretted that Dhankhar had stepped down.
