He asked the protesting parties to discuss the president s address and any other issues they have and put forth their points in parliament rather than protesting outside. Let them hold a discussion on the President s motion if they have a point to make. For that they need to discuss issues in parliament, said Mr Joshi.

New Delhi [India], January 28 (ANI): Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi on Thursday slammed Opposition parties for their decision to boycott the President s address to the joint sitting of two Houses of Parliament at the start of budget on Friday.
Joshi said that the government is ready to discuss all issues and they should reconsider their decision for boycotting President s address.
Sources said the government is reaching out to opposition parties for the smooth functioning of the session which will conclude on April 8 with a recess in between.
The Budget Session of Parliament that begins on Friday is set to get off to a rocky start as 18 Opposition parties announced on Thursday that they will boycott the President’s address to the joint sitting of both Houses in solidarity with farmers protesting against the three Union laws. Announcing the decision, Ghulam Nabi Azad, leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, said the 16 parties also demanded an independent probe into the Centre’s role in the violence that shook the national capital during the farmers’ tractor parade on Republic Day. Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said this was “most unfortunate”.
