At the middle point velocity of the particle under $SHM$ is maximum but acceleration is zero since displacement is zero. So Assertion is true.

We know that $x=a \sin \omega t$                         $...(1)$

Where $x$ is displacement and a is amplitude.

Velocity $=\frac{d x}{d t}=a \omega \cos \omega t$

$=a \omega \cos (-\omega t)=a \omega \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-(-\omega t)\right)$

$=a \omega \sin \left(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$            $...(2)$

From equation $( 1 )$ and $(ii)$ it is clear that

Velocity is ahead of displacement $(x)$ by $\frac{\pi}{2}$ angle.
