He is the same man who while in Pakistan asked Ibrahim not to do any bloodshed n said that if Yusuf wants to talk to him then let him come to him directly without any bloodshed.
Yesterday he asked Ibrahim Shaikh not to fire.
He is the same man who told Vikram that humanity is above all.
He is the same man who told Afreen that he doesn't want to bring an innocent life in this horrible world "Yeh Jagah bacchon ke lie jhannum hai"
I HAVE NO CLUE why writers showed him this way when they were meant to show him as a heartless terrorist.
If we say that he is driven by revenge then he shouldn't have said or done those things at all..He should have asked Ibrahim to shoot Yusuf or anyone who came in the way, he shouldn't have asked Ibrahim not to fire,He should't have stated that "Jagah bacchon ke lie jhannum hai"; he shouldn't have told Vikram that humanity is above all if for him REVENGE is what matters!
I would have been okay with Sid's transformation into Sadiq had I not had seen his human side even while he was Sadiq.
It baffles me that writers made this character say something and then do the exact opposite !
What were the writers thinking!
It doesn't make sense to me at all.
I see what you're saying, but in the sense that Sadiq has been saying one thing and doing another, I interpreted it very differently. The whole point of having Sadiq's actions and words like this was very deliberate. It shows how he is still driven by the compassion and love we saw in him as Siddhant. However, now we see how his perception of displaying that same compassion and love is a world apart. It shows how one change in his life changed his reasons, not necessarily his drive.
Also, he maintains a bit of rationality, which comes to light when he doesn't want bloodshed, or doesn't kill Yusuf, or tells Ibrahim not to fire. Just because he is motivated by revenge, it doesn't mean he doesn't think before acting, because he knows that he needs to plan in order to be successful. The character described in your post is more like Yusuf, hot-headed, rash, and excited, who is there partly to show the contrast.
While all this doesn't seem rational to us, it is to Sadiq, because he doesn't draw the line the same way we do. To him and us, the previously stated is a correct behavior. However, what he's doing right now, that's putting humanity above all else for him. In his mind, he's doing what's best for humanity, by removing the people who hurt other people. While the similarity between the people who killed Hussain and Sadiq is apparent to us, it's not for Sadiq. They weren't human. He is, and this is why he's getting justice, his way. His methods are different, but morally justified to him. This is the way the rules apply for his situation.
And I would say that there's nothing out of character for him to say the camp is hell for children. Because that's directly a result of Hussain's death.
Lastly, I think that "heartless terrorist" is an interesting way to describe him. It seems to work simply because he's resorted to violence like this. But to say that he's heartless may not be entirely true, because while that coldness and detachment to the people from his past is there, his biggest influence is his heart, which doesn't let him let go of Hussain, which needs revenge, which fears for Afreen's safety.
So, in this way, Sadiq's character makes absolute sense.
