Consider the above figure.
Here, XY is the perpendicular bisector of a line AB.
Let P be any random point on XY.
In △ PMA ≅ △ PMB
AM = BM (Perpendicular bisector divides a line segment into two equal halves)
∠ PMA = ∠ PMB = 90∘
Also PM is common side
So △ PMA ≅ △ PMB (SAS Rule)
∴ PA = PB (CPCT)
Hence, △ PAB is an isosceles triangle.
So, the given statement is true.
