Iran's new dress code bill is aimed at encouraging designers to work on imaginative Islamic clothing, lawmakers said on Sunday, dismissing a report that the bill sought special outfits for religious minorities.
The bill aims to support those designers that produce clothes that are more compatible with Islam, but there will be no ban on the wearing of other designs." Iran's Jewish MP Moris Motamed also agreed the bill made no attempt to force special garments on the minorities.
"There is no single word in the bill about a special design or colour for the religious minority groups," he said.
"Our enemies seek to create tension among the religious minorities with such news and to exploit the situation to their benefit," he added.
