According to question
     

Let us take a chord EF || XY
Here    \angle XAO= 90^{\circ} 
(\because tangent at any point of the circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact)

\angle EGO= \angle XAO   (Corresponding angles)

\therefore \, \angle EGO= 90^{\circ}
Thus AB bisects EF
Hence AB bisects all the chords parallel to the tangent at point A.
Hence Proved
