Sarker always spoke for upholding and ensuring human rights and for resisting social oppression, discrimination, and communal politics. On 29 April 2006, he presided over a regional dialogue on national election policy and the initiative of civil society in Mymensingh.{{Cite web |url=http://www.cpd-bangladesh.org/Policy%20Brief/sub%20folders/regional%20dialogues/RD_Mymensingh.html |title=CPD Election Programme |access-date=21 February 2008 |archive-date=14 October 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014164557/http://www.cpd-bangladesh.org/Policy%20Brief/sub%20folders/regional%20dialogues/RD_Mymensingh.html |url-status=dead}} As chair of a meeting organised in Mymensingh in observance of [[World Press Freedom Day]] in 2006, he said that now everything is captured by money, and, consequently, it is so difficult to ensure freedom of the press since the press is owned and controlled by the corporations and business magnates who act in favour of capitalism and serve as agents of capitalist imperialism and globalisation. There is certainly a strong relationship among media and development and poverty alleviation but poverty will never be reduced until corruption, injustice, inequality, etc., are eliminated from society. He urged all to achieve freedom and establish one's rights through continuous struggle.{{cite web |url=http://www.voicebd.org/report_01.pdf |title=World Press Freedom Day 2006 Observed |website=Voice |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070702004754/http://www.voicebd.org/report_01.pdf |archive-date=2 July 2007}} He believed that religion-based politics should be banned in line with the constitution of Bangladesh of 1972. He also maintained that the members of the parliaments should not be involved in activities other than legislating.
