1. First is because the constitution makes a provision that a parliament member has to receive petition from individuals or bodies as the case may be.

2. The democratic system recognises petitioning as a very good way to hear the demands of the people.

What is a Petition?

A petition put simply, is a request to do something, usually addressed to a government official or public entity.

And since, the constitution makes provision for petitions, it follows that a member of the parliament is obligated to receive petitions irrespective of their personal beliefs.
