Looks like Pakistani Punjabis (non-Iranic Pakistanis) are genetically equally distant to both Gujaratis (North Western Indians) and Iranian Bandaris (Southern Iranians).
They seem to be also almost equally distant to both Uttar Pradesh people (North India-proper, Uttar means North) and Iranians from Fars.
Equally distant does not necessarily mean intermediate. Pakistanis have higher Steppe ancestry than both Iranians and North Indians. They appear to be their own unique population and not same as other South Asians as you like to believe.
