Iranian lawmakers called on Sunday for enforcement of Hijab law which demands the Iranian women to observe Islamic dress code.

In a letter to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, 195 lawmakers urged the Iranian government to take steps against the influence of western culture which according to them has targeted Islamic values, state IRIB TV reported.

According to the law endorsed by Iran's Cultural Revolution Supreme Council, the mechanisms to enforce and correct women dressing code has been clarified to the government and the relevant institutions, read the letter.

Following the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979, the Islamic system obliged the Iranian women to cover their hair and their body with loose clothing in public.

Western satellite TV channels have invaded Iranian family foundations and the beliefs of the Muslim family in a bid to change their way of life, according to the letter.

If the government does not heed the law regarding Hijab, the country and the families will face serious cultural challenges.

After his election as president in June 2013, Rouhani pledged social freedoms which had been restricted in the time of former conservative president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad via a number of means.

Recently, a group of Iranian women posted their pictures on the social network to launch a debate of having the right to choose to wear the Islamic clothing.
