A Haryana girl and her sister in Ambala were denied a passport by the concerned authorities who took this decision based on a weird argument that they look like Nepali. Both of them have written to the Haryana cabinet minster Anil Vij.

As per news reports, the sisters said, "When we went to the passport office at Chandigarh, they saw our faces and wrote that we are Nepali. They ask us to prove our nationality."
